OS: Centos  
ELaticsearch Version: 2.2.2  
Content of logging.yml  
file:  
type: dailyRollingFile  
file: ${path.logs}/${cluster.name}.log  
datePattern: "'.'yyyy-MM-dd"  
layout:  
type: pattern  
conversionPattern: "[%d{ISO8601}][%-5p][%-25c] %.10000m%n"

I can see logs at /var/log/elasticsearch but it is not daily. It is generating files on random days.

Can anyone faced this issue?
