Description

I'm using RollingFile appender with archiving to a separate directory.
The archive directory pattern is yyyy-MM.
Up until 2013-08-30, everything worked just fine.
All the logs for August were placed inside directory 2013-08

On 2013-09-01 00:01, log4j2 placed the log for 2013-08-31 inside directory 2013-09, instead of 2013-08

-bash-4.1$ ls -l 2013-09
total 8
rw-rw-r- 1 tomcat tomcat 4846 Sep 1 00:01 rws-2013-08-31.log.gz

Here's the configuration I'm using:

<RollingFile name="RollingFile" fileName="${base}/rws.log" filePattern="${base}/$${date:yyyy-MM}/rws-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log.gz">
   <PatternLayout>
      <pattern>%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS}{UTC} [%t] %p %c{1} - %m%n</pattern>
   </PatternLayout>
   <Policies>
     <TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy/>
   </Policies>
</RollingFile>
