Are you using the original file name mentioned in the config file at
all? Why and under what conditions do you need to switch? You could
easily do this programmatically - have two handlers and when you need
to, remove one from the logger and add the other. I see you are using
a rotating handler, which itself does rollover to new log files every
so often.
