Description of problem: In log subsystem, nested expression can be used for path. ~~ "path" => { "type" => STRING, "description" => "The filesystem path.", "expressions-allowed" => true, "nillable" => false, "min-length" => 1L, "max-length" => 2147483647L } ~~ so if I use following log configuration : ~~~ <periodic-rotating-file-handler name="FILE" autoflush="true"> <formatter> <named-formatter name="PATTERN"/> </formatter> <file relative-to="jboss.server.log.dir" path="${jboss.server.name}.log"/> <suffix value=".yyyy-MM-dd"/> <append value="true"/> ~~~ server log name will be HOST_NAME.log and there is no problems to write. However, it is not displated in Admin console Log Viewer menu. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 6.4.beta How reproducible: change path in <periodic-rotating-file-handler> file element to ${jboss.server.name}.log Then see admin console menu. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: empty Expected results: ~.log file should be shown. Additional info:
The problem is that the string: "${jboss.server.name}.log" is passed to server for filtering, and the server does not expand the expression before filtering the file names. Thus this should be related to component: logging.
