Matt Sicker commented on LOG4J2-2601:
-------------------------------------
This sounds like a regression.
> LOG4J_CONFIGURATION_FILE environment variable has no effect
> -----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LOG4J2-2601
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2601
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Configurators
> Affects Versions: 2.11.2
> Reporter: David Leonhartsberger
> Priority: Minor
>
> According to the docs the environment variables should have highest priority
> but when using the `LOG4J_CONFIGURATION_FILE` env var it shows no effect at
> all.
> I tried using relative and absolute path.
> In the debug output it only shows my information about the configuration file
> I specified via system property.
> System property: log4j2-dev.xml
> Env var: log4j2-prod.xml
> {code:java}
> football-trading-service_1 | app[ERROR] TRACE StatusLogger Trying to find
> [log4j2-dev.xml] using context class loader

> DEBUG StatusLogger Apache Log4j Core 2.11.2 initializing configuration
> XmlConfiguration[location=/opt/app/target/scala-2.12/classes/log4j2-dev.xml]
> {code}
> Looking into the source code it seems this feature is not supported anymore,
> so either the docs or outdated or its a regression bug.
