Not able to output application logs to file on JBOSS EAP 6.4 XPASS image using periodic-rotating-file-handler

Question

I'm using JBOSS 6.4 EAP on openshift v3. I'm able to view application logs on console but not able to output them to file. I'm trying to use the periodic-rotating-file-handler. Below is my standalone-openshift.xml config:

     <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:logging:1.5">
        <console-handler name="CONSOLE">
            <formatter>
                <named-formatter name="OPENSHIFT"/>
            </formatter>
        </console-handler>
        <periodic-rotating-file-handler name="FILE" autoflush="true">
            <formatter>
                <named-formatter name="PATTERN"/>
            </formatter>
            <file relative-to="jboss.server.log.dir" path="server.log"/>
            <suffix value=".yyyy-MM-dd"/>
            <append value="true"/>                
        </periodic-rotating-file-handler>            
        <async-handler name="ASYNC">
            <queue-length value="512"/>
            <overflow-action value="block"/>
            <subhandlers>
                <handler name="CONSOLE"/>
            </subhandlers>
        </async-handler>
        <async-handler name="FILEASYNC">
            <queue-length value="512"/>
            <overflow-action value="block"/>
            <subhandlers>
                <handler name="FILE"/>
            </subhandlers>
        </async-handler>            
        <logger category="com.arjuna">
            <level name="WARN"/>
        </logger>
        <logger category="org.apache.tomcat.util.modeler">
            <level name="WARN"/>
        </logger>
        <logger category="org.jboss.as.config">
            <level name="DEBUG"/>
        </logger>
        <logger category="sun.rmi">
            <level name="WARN"/>
        </logger>
        <logger category="jacorb">
            <level name="WARN"/>
        </logger>
        <logger category="jacorb.config">
            <level name="ERROR"/>
        </logger>
        <root-logger>
            <level name="INFO"/>
            <handlers>
                <handler name="ASYNC"/>
                <handler name="FILEASYNC"/>
            </handlers>
        </root-logger>
        <formatter name="PATTERN">
            <pattern-formatter pattern="%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p [%c] (%t) %s%E%n"/>
        </formatter>            
        <formatter name="OPENSHIFT">
            <custom-formatter module="org.jboss.logmanager.ext" class="org.jboss.logmanager.ext.formatters.LogstashFormatter"/>
        </formatter>
    </subsystem>

Wondering if anyone has run into a similar issue and know what I'm doing incorrectly? I'm able to see the server startup logs but no application logs on the file.

Is your formatter name="PATTERN" is configured in /opt/eap/standalone/configuration/logging.properties

Here is a configuration that works for me :

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:logging:1.5">
  <console-handler name="CONSOLE">
    <formatter>
      <named-formatter name="COLOR-PATTERN" />
    </formatter>
  </console-handler>
  <periodic-rotating-file-handler name="FILE" autoflush="true">
    <formatter>
      <named-formatter name="COLOR-PATTERN" />
    </formatter>
    <file relative-to="jboss.server.log.dir" path="server.log" />
    <suffix value=".yyyy-MM-dd" />
    <append value="true" />
  </periodic-rotating-file-handler>
  <async-handler name="ASYNC">
    <queue-length value="512" />
    <overflow-action value="block" />
    <subhandlers>
      <handler name="CONSOLE" />
    </subhandlers>
  </async-handler>
  <logger category="com.arjuna">
    <level name="WARN" />
  </logger>
  <logger category="org.apache.tomcat.util.modeler">
    <level name="WARN" />
  </logger>
  <logger category="org.jboss.as.config">
    <level name="DEBUG" />
  </logger>
  <logger category="sun.rmi">
    <level name="WARN" />
  </logger>
  <logger category="jacorb">
    <level name="WARN" />
  </logger>
  <logger category="jacorb.config">
    <level name="ERROR" />
  </logger>
  <root-logger>
    <level name="INFO" />
    <handlers>
      <handler name="ASYNC" />
      <handler name="FILE" />
    </handlers>
  </root-logger>
  <formatter name="OPENSHIFT">
    <custom-formatter module="org.jboss.logmanager.ext" class="org.jboss.logmanager.ext.formatters.LogstashFormatter">
      <properties>
        <property name="metaData" value="log-handler=CONSOLE" />
      </properties>
    </custom-formatter>
  </formatter>
  <formatter name="COLOR-PATTERN">
    <pattern-formatter pattern="%K{level}%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p [%c] (%t) %s%E%n" />
  </formatter>
</subsystem>

and the logging.properties :

formatter.COLOR-PATTERN=org.jboss.logmanager.formatters.PatternFormatter
formatter.COLOR-PATTERN.properties=pattern
formatter.COLOR-PATTERN.pattern=%K{level}%d{HH\:mm\:ss,SSS} %-5p [%c] (%t) %s%E%n
