-----------------------------------
Summary: Improve error message when log4j 2 configuration file not
found
Key: LOG4J2-1812
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1812
Project: Log4j 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Configurators
Affects Versions: 2.8, 2.7, 2.6, 2.5, 2.4, 2.3
Reporter: Remko Popma
Assignee: Remko Popma
Fix For: 2.8.1
When configuration fails because no Log4j 2 configuration file is found, the
following message is logged to the console at ERROR level:
{code}
No log4j2 configuration file found. Using default configuration: logging only
errors to the console.
{code}
We should be able to improve this. One idea is to add this:
{code}
No log4j2 configuration file found. Using default configuration: logging only
errors to the console. Set system property
'org.apache.logging.log4j.simplelog.StatusLogger.level' to TRACE to show Log4j2
initialization internal logging.
{code}
Another idea is to dump the contents of the StatusLogger ring buffer to the
console.
