Woops the most important part it just uses the standard  
rollingfileappender hence why the logfile names are formatted like  
that Red5_%d{yyyyMMdd}.log, they can also be gzipped when the log is  
rolling over. I also think the log string is finally formatted in the  
Red5PatternLayout which extends PatternLayoutBase not in the appender.  
The required jar for this setup is the logback access package.
