GitHub user ppkarwasz added a comment to the discussion: Help with migrating from log4j to log4j2 (we also use a slf4j -> log4j)

Yes, calling `LoggerContext.reconfigure()` is only able to load a single configuration at a time, but you can create a merged configuration programmatically: ```java ConfigurationFactory configFactory = ConfigurationFactory.getInstance(); AbstractConfiguration commonConfig = (AbstractConfiguration) configFactory.getConfiguration(ctx, null, URI.create("classpath:log4j2-common.xml")); AbstractConfiguration sshConfig = (AbstractConfiguration) configFactory.getConfiguration(ctxl, null, URI.create("classpath:log4j2-ssh.xml")); ctx.reconfigure(new CompositeConfiguration(Arrays.asList(commonConfig, sshConfig))); ``` GitHub link: https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/discussions/3914#discussioncomment-14332898 ---- This is an automatically sent email for dev@logging.apache.org.
