I ended up accessing BasicStatusManager directly to get the message out so I can at least see what's going on. Then I was able to figure out that some required configuration wasn't set for RollingPolicy object.<div>

<br></div><div>Please let me know if there is a way to make BasicStatusManager cough up all log messages for LogBack. Otherwise, I guess I just have to do it the way I'm doing now when things are not working.<br><div>
