---------------------------------------------------------------
I don't see anything in this discussion regarding that. Yes SimpleLogger is
used before the configuration is read, but the vast majority of logging happens
during or after configuration. All of the Log4j configuration implementations
read the attributes on the configuration element before doing anything. A
couple of those affect status logging. The StatusLogger is configured with a
listener before any actual configuration is performed. Once that happens
SimpleLogger is no longer used. What messages are you thinking will be printed
out before the configuration is read that are not errors?
Which API? You can do exactly the same thing the configuration does - it just
adds the ConsoleStatusListener with the appropriate configuration and that
causes it to be used instead of SimpleLogger. SimpleLogger is just a fallback
in case you didn't configure anything.

> Allow setting of output stream on StatusLogger

> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Robert Ross
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: StatusLogger, debugging
>
> The StatusLogger internally uses a SimpleLogger. SimpleLogger offers the
> ability to control the output stream, but StatusLogger encapsulates and hides
> this capability, always using System.err as the output stream.
> It would be useful to expose this option so that the API offers some control
> over the output stream used by StatusLogger.
