date in the log file name

I want my logfile to end up like this :

2015-04-23.log (YYMMDD.log)

<root>
  <level value="DEBUG" />
  <appender-ref ref="RollingFileAppender" />
</root>
<appender name="RollingFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
      <file type="log4net.Util.PatternString" value="logs\CTI\ServiceName" />
      <appendToFile value="true" />
      <rollingStyle value="Date" />
      <maxSizeRollBackups value="10" />
      <maximumFileSize value="20MB" />
      <staticLogFileName value="false" />
      <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
        <conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %level %logger - %message%newline%exception" />
      </layout>
    </appender>

After running the code, the log file comes up as ServiceName_2015-04-23.log.2015-04-23.

What is the issue?

The appender should look like this:

<appender name="RollingFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
    <file value="logs\CTI\ServiceName\" />
    <datePattern value="yyyy-MM-dd'.log'" />
    <appendToFile value="true" />
    <rollingStyle value="Composite" />
    <maxSizeRollBackups value="10" />
    <maximumFileSize value="20MB" />
    <staticLogFileName value="false" />
    <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
        <conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %level %logger - %message%newline%exception" />
    </layout>
</appender>

The key is the datePattern where we add '.log' to the pattern.

Two years later... Better late than never.

You use rollingStyle=date, so log4net adds date in the end of file name. You can find useful config examples for RollingFileAppender class here.
