             Summary: Configuration File Include 
                 Key: LOG4J2-1429
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1429
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Configurators
            Reporter: Scot Hale 
            Priority: Critical


Configuration File Include 

logback has a configuration feature that allows a fragment of a file to be 
included.  The file source can be a file, classpath resource, or a URL.  The 
feature is documented here: 
http://logback.qos.ch/manual/configuration.html#fileInclusion .  This requested 
feature need not be implemented the same.  Instead of fragments, it would 
probably be okay to supply a full configuration and merge it. Either 
implementation would work for my specific use case.

Each of the included files should be checked for changes on the monitorInterval 
to allow a reload of the configuration.

Also includes can be considered "optional", which allows the resource to be 
missing.

The main use case I have as a requestor, is to create a configuration and 
package it in a jar.  The jar is provided to multiple applications which can 
adjust the logging levels at runtime for diagnostic purposes with well known 
included files.
