How can I instruct Tomcat to hold log files for each virtual host and app separately, similar to:

${tomcat.home}/logs/vhost-app-date.log

This is under the assumption that I configure all virtual hosts to log to the console, and they are unaware of the virtual host and application name they're running under.
