Why my SiftingAppender stop working when I used a RollingFileAppender?

In my logback config file, I have the following appender that work : 

<appender name="thread_SIFT" class="ch.qos.logback.classic.sift.SiftingAppender">
    <discriminator class="[...]"/>
    <sift>
        <appender name="FILE-${threadName}" class="ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender">
            <file>[...]/${bySecond}/${threadName}.log</file>
            <layout class="ch.qos.logback.classic.PatternLayout">
               <pattern>%date %level %logger{0} - %msg%n</pattern>
            </layout>
        </appender>
    </sift>
</appender>

The file are created correctly. If I replace FileAppender by RollingFileAppender, nothing is created. Why? How can I make it work>

The threadName is set by the discriminator.

Seems the property ${bySecond} or any one else is lost inside sift > appender tag.

ERROR in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.spi.Interpreter@23:97 - no applicable
action for [property], current pattern is [[configuration][appender][property]]
[...]/bySecond_IS_UNDEFINED/main.log

The OnConsoleStatusListener is your friend. Just add 

<configuration>
  <statusListener class="ch.qos.logback.core.status.OnConsoleStatusListener" />
  .. remainder of your config file
</configuration>

at the beginning of your configuration file to see the errors generated by SiftingAppender.

There was an error in package name. It seem error under the tag sift are silently ignore. To test, I need to copy the appender outside the sift tag, make sure I have no error and copy it back.

In complement to my comment, you can verify that a file is correctly created using this appender in your sift appender (taken from the Logback Tutorial about RollingFileAppender configuration).

  <appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
    <file>test.log</file>

    <rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.FixedWindowRollingPolicy">
      <fileNamePattern>tests.%i.log.zip</fileNamePattern>
      <minIndex>1</minIndex>
      <maxIndex>3</maxIndex>
    </rollingPolicy>

    <triggeringPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy">
      <maxFileSize>5MB</maxFileSize>
    </triggeringPolicy>

    <encoder>
      <pattern>%-4relative [%thread] %-5level %logger{35} - %msg%n</pattern>
    </encoder>
  </appender>
