             Summary: monitorInterval is not honored when using xinclude

             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Configurators
    Affects Versions: 2.1
         Environment: Windows, Linux
            Reporter: Edwin F. López

Hi there.
I'm using Log4J2 version 2.1 and while doing a proof of concept for 
centralizing my configurations, I have stumble upon the following scenario:

I have created a configuration file which should be reloading automatically 
every 15 seconds in a console application. For loading the appenders and 
loggers, I have used the XInclude directive to reference the external source 
information, however, I'm using a servlet to generate the xml instead of files. 
This servlet runs fine and correctly prints the xml fragments.

Well, it happens that the configuration only reloads when the log4j2.xml file 
changes, however, if there is any change in the output from the servlet, it 
doesn't reload the new configuration. In other words, I was expecting that the 
configuration was getting reloaded every 15 seconds, so it could take the new 
values from the servlet but it is not happening.

I have activated the statuslogger to a trace level, and it effectively 
registers the configuration reloading when manually modifying the log4j2.xml, 
but it never shows anything when the xinclude values changes.

Is this the expected behavior? I was expecting a reconfiguration every 15 secs.

See below the log4j2.xml and appenders.xml and loggers.xml

Log4J2 config file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<Configuration
    xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude";
    name="Log4J2Config"
    monitorInterval="10"
    status="Trace">
    <Properties>
        <Property 
name="Pattern">%d{ISO8601}|APP=%marker|%p|%c|%M|%m%n</Property>
    </Properties>

    <!-- Appenders -->
    <xi:include 
href="http://localhost:7001/log4j2config/getlog4j2xmlconfig?appCode=log4jConfig&amp;section=appenders";
 />

    <!-- Loggers -->
    <xi:include 
href="http://localhost:7001/log4j2config/getlog4j2xmlconfig?appCode=log4jConfig&amp;section=loggers";
 />
</Configuration>

Appenders fragment:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<Appenders>
    <Console name="Console" target="SYSTEM_ERR">
        <PatternLayout pattern="${Pattern}"/>
    </Console>

    <RollingFile
        name="RollingFile"
        fileName="app.log"
        filePattern="app-%d{yyyyMMdd}-%i.log.gz">

        <PatternLayout pattern="${Pattern}" />

        <Policies>
            <SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="1MB" />
        </Policies>

    </RollingFile>
</Appenders>

Loggers fragment:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<Loggers>
    <Root level="Off">
        <AppenderRef ref="Console" />
    </Root>
    <Logger name="log4jconfig.Log4JConfig" level="FATAL" includeLocation="true">
        <AppenderRef ref="RollingFile" />
    </Logger>
</Loggers>

Thanks a lot
