    Description

      I'm trying to configure a rolling file appender to work with HTMLLayout:

      <RollingRandomAccessFile name="RollingFile"
    fileName="logs/app.html" filePattern="logs/app-%i-%d{yyyy-MM-dd-HH}.html">
    <HTMLLayout title="App log" locationInfo="true"/>
    <Policies>
    <TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy interval="12" />
    <SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="10 MB" />
    <OnStartupTriggeringPolicy />
    </Policies>
    <DefaultRolloverStrategy max="100" />
</RollingRandomAccessFile>

      But the outcome is not as expected. The logs are not formatted in a nice table and when I open the log file as text the HTML header is missing.

      When I use FileAppender it works fine.

      <File name="FileAppender" fileName="logs/agent.html">
        <HTMLLayout title="Agent log" locationInfo="true" />
</File>
