JBoss logging filter-spec configuration doesn't filter out based on MDC

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

We've configured the "filter-spec" expression on our handler in the logging subsystem. The "filter-spec" refers to a value found in the MDC (Mapped Diagnostic Context). The filtering doesn't work however. The logging pattern is:

<file-handler name="INSTRUMENTS" autoflush="true">
    <filter-spec value="match(&quot;CORE.InstrumentDistributor&quot;)"/>
    <formatter>
        <pattern-formatter pattern="%d %-5p [%c{1}] [%X{Thread}.%X{Num}|%X{MsgID}|%X{MDB}|%X{CompID}] %X{CompID} %m%n"/>
    </formatter>
    <file relative-to="jboss.server.log.dir" path="instrument-distributor.log"/>
    <append value="false"/>
</file-handler>
