    Description

      There seems to be not way to use UTC dates for RollingFileAppenders names.

      In my case :

      RollingFileAppender rfa = new RollingFileAppender();
      rfa.DatePattern = "yyyy-MM-dd HH";
      rfa.RollingStyle = RollingFileAppender.RollingMode.Date;
      rfa.StaticLogFileName = false;
      PatternLayout layout = new PatternLayout("%utcdate %m%n");

      I managed to get the log lines in UTC, but not the log file names.

      I could got it by a quick & dirty implementation of a UTCRollingFileAppender with custom constructor :

      public UTCRollingFileAppender()

      { m_dateTime = new UniversalDateTime(); }

      And IDateTime implementation :

      /// <summary>
      /// Universal Time Zone implementation of <see cref="IDateTime"/> that returns the current time.
      /// </summary>
      private class UniversalDateTime : IDateTime
      {
      /// <summary>
      /// Gets the <b>current</b> time.
      /// </summary>
      /// <value>The <b>current</b> time.</value>
      /// <remarks>
      /// <para>
      /// Gets the <b>current</b> time.
      /// </para>
      /// </remarks>
      public DateTime Now
      {
      get

      { return DateTime.UtcNow; }

      }
      }

      I believe I could have missed something in the configuration.
      If this is not the case, would it be possible to implement it in a clean way ?

      Miguel
