Summary: Log4j2 JMX: Updating the logging level via jConsole
doesn't take effect
Key: LOG4J2-637
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-637
Project: Log4j 2
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Mansoor Sajjad
I am trying to configure log4j2 so that
I can access the loggers via JMX and
change their log levels.
When I hook everything up, I am able to access the LoggerContext via JConsole,
which contains all of my LoggerConfigs.
Each LoggerConfig show the correct log level with which the application is
running. And if I update a log level in any LoggerConfig it call the MBean and
update the logging level correctly, which I have inspected via debugging. But
the problem is that updating the log level doesn't take any effect. The
application keeps on logging with the old logging level.
For example If I start the application with the XYZ logger with log level
DEBUG, and change this log level to FATAL via JConsole, it changes successfully
but application keep on logging in DEBUG level.
If instead of updating the single LoggerConfig if I update the LoggerContext by
passing the new xml configuration with updated logging levels it works as
expected.
What should be the problem? Documentation is quite and google refused to help
me.
My Findings:
As far as I understood this problem is that when I update the Log level in the
LoggerConfig via JConsole, log4j2 update the log level via MBean correctly but
its not updating the LoggerContext, it simply call the setter method and
returns. But in case if I update LoggerCoentext log4j2 create the new context
to update itself.
