Log4j - Log file not getting sent to external log viewer - kubernetes

Question

I have a pod that uses a log4j2.xml config file to manage logging configuration and for sending it to an external log viewer (Elastic Search). This pod has two log files that need to sent to Elastic Search. A main log file and a ruletrace log file. This is the log4j config file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration monitorInterval="30">
<Properties>
<Property name="logFolder">/var/log/svc</Property> <!-- Must NOT end with a slash -->
</Properties>
<appenders>

</Console>

</Configuration>
The main log file (svc.log) gets sent to ElasticSearch with no issues. The ruletrace doesn't, however. There are log messages appearing in the ruletrace log file on the pod but those log messages don't get sent to ElasticSearch. I've tried changing the settings below a few times to different configs but it makes no difference, seemingly.
Is there a limit to the amount of Loggers you can reference? Would the difference in pattern layout make a difference?
