Im trying to migrate gerrit from log4j1 to log4j2.
With this we have a ssh command that resets log levels (ie sets the log level
to null then loads the Property file without restarting from fresh and loosing
any appenders that were created with java).

Why are you trying to do this? What problem are you trying to solve? Simply
trying to port code from Log4j 1 to Log4j 2 without evaluating what the best
way is to achieve the desired results is not an approach I recommend.
