The log4j2.xml file is only being used to configure Graylog's logging 
capabilities. In the virtual machine images, svlogd is being used to fetch 
stdout and stderr from Graylog and write it to the known location.

Graylog is using Log4j 2.x <https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/>, 
Elasticsearch is using Log4j 1.2 <https://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/>. 
They are incompatible with each other. Additionally, Elasticsearch is using 
a custom layer to configure the logging framework.

Cheers,
Jochen
