How to split catalina.out for tomcat?

I have log4j2.xml properties:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration>
<Appenders>
<Console name="Console" target="SYSTEM_OUT">
<PatternLayout
pattern="%style{%d{ISO8601}}{black} %highlight{%-5level }[%style{%t}{bright,blue}] %style{%C{1.}}{bright,yellow}: %msg%n%throwable" />
</Console>
<RollingFile name="RollingFile"
fileName="/opt/tomcat/mylogs/logs.log"
filePattern="/opt/tomcat/mylogs/$${date:yyyy-MM}/log-%d{-dd-MMMM-yyyy}-%i.log.gz">
<PatternLayout>
<pattern>%d %p %C{1.} [%t] %m%n</pattern>
</PatternLayout>
<Policies>
<!-- rollover on startup, daily and when the file reaches 50 MegaBytes -->
<OnStartupTriggeringPolicy />
<SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy
size="50 MB" />
<TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy />
</Policies>
</RollingFile>
</Appenders>
<Loggers>
<!-- LOG everything at INFO level -->
<Root level="info">
<AppenderRef ref="Console" level="info" />
<AppenderRef ref="RollingFile" level="info" />
<AppenderRef ref="SmtpAppender" level="exception"/>
</Root>
<Logger name="com.kot" level="debug">
<AppenderRef ref="RollingFile"/>
</Logger>
</Loggers>
</Configuration>
But this properteis create logg files on another folder on server: "/opt/tomcat/mylogs/logs.log"
I want to split catalina.out logs. This logs are located on "/opt/tomcat/logs/catalina.out" by default
Also, how to split server logs and application logs?

log4j is logging in the console but not creating a log file

I am using log4j in my project. The project is working fine but it is not creating a log file.
Here is the log4j.xml
<Configuration status="warn">
<Properties>
<Property name="logHome">D:/logs</Property>
</Properties>
<Appenders>
<Console name="console" target="SYSTEM_OUT">
<PatternLayout pattern="%-5p: %c - %m%n" />
</Console>
<RollingFile name="rollingFile" immediateFlush="true" fileName="${logHome}/mySample.log" filePattern="${logHome}/mySample-%i.log">
<PatternLayout>

</PatternLayout>
<Policies>
<SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="5 MB" />
</Policies>
<DefaultRolloverStrategy max="10" />
</RollingFile>
</Appenders>
<Loggers>

</Configuration>
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I tried all the ways out but nothing worked for me. At the end I had to switch to slf4j.Logger and slf4j.LoggerFactory. With the help of this I was able to generate logs.
Example:
private static final Logger LOGGER=LoggerFactory.getLogger(MyClass.class);

log4j2 writing method and class

I'm using log4j2 in a java program..
this is the line of code where it is initialized
private static final Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger("application-
log");
and this is the configuration file where the format is decided
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</Properties>
<Appenders>
<Console name="STDOUT">
<PatternLayout pattern="%m MDC%X%n"/>
</Console>
<RollingRandomAccessFile name="fileLogApplicativo"
fileName="${logApplicativo}" filePattern="${log-Applicativo}-%d{yyyy-MM-
dd}-%i.log" immediateFlush="false" append="true"
ignoreExceptions="false" >

</PatternLayout>
<Policies>

</Appenders>
<Loggers>
<AsyncRoot level="error">

</AsyncRoot>

</AsyncLogger>

</AsyncLogger>
</Loggers>
I do not understand why, but class name, code name, line code arent printed. Probably the problem is trivial but I'm going crazy from one day.
Thank you all

If you're using asynchronous loggers or asynchronous appenders try adding includeLocation="true" to your logger or appender configuration.
You can read more about it in the log4j2 manual

Log4j2 Delete on Rollover is not working as expected, in Pingfederate

In Pingfederate, which internally uses log4j2 to log events. I am trying to rollover and delete older logs. While rollover functionality works, and the log is rolled over, but the deletion functionality doesn't seem to work. What do i don't understand ? Kindly explain and help me fix this.
Also, I am trying to log log4j2 itself, but for some reason it is not getting logged in the console logs.
Thanks a bunch.
If you need more information, kindly comment.
