Description

When you want split the log into different directories by period (day, hour, minute, etc.), and use
RollingRandomAccessFileAppender with a DirectWrite rollover, the config should be:

<RollingRandomAccessFile name="RollingFile"  filePattern="${baseDir}/%d{s}/%d{s}.log">
    <PatternLayout header= "${LOG_HEADER}">
        <Pattern>${LOG_PATTERN}</Pattern>
    </PatternLayout>
    <Policies>
        <TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy/>
    </Policies>
</RollingRandomAccessFile>

 At that time when you create the first log of each directory， console shows;

2022-07-31 03:17:44,009 main ERROR RollingRandomAccessFileManager target/rolling-random-direct-switch-director/%d{s}/%d{s}.log Failed to create file after rollover: java.io.FileNotFoundException: target/rolling-random-direct-switch-director/44/44.log (No such file or directory) java.io.FileNotFoundException: target/rolling-random-direct-switch-director/44/44.log (No such file or directory) 

Apparently the directory has not been created when the file is creating
