Format of dates in log files PDI / Kitchen 4.0.1

Question

Inherited a set of jobs, and the logging to the filesystem begins with format {SEV} MM-dd HH:MM:SS, where I need to have the year as part of the timestamp.

The only log4j configs I can find are part of an old Jasper install, and modifying them to use log4j.appender.fileout.layout.conversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd} instead of ISO8601 as a test seems to have no effect.

Where else could the log line format be defined?
