Is there anything in the pipeline in terms of building ability to read external config files for the default logger, spdlog?

Alternatively, does a method exist or is currently being developed, for setting custom names for log files?

Afaik, the implementation of the default logger (spdlog) does not currently support custom log configuration: https://github.com/ros2/rcl_logging/b...

If you compile ROS2 from source, you can use log4cxx instead, which does support external configuration. There are however a number of other issues with that (which is why the default logging system was changed to spdlog).
