-------------------------------------
That makes sense.
Can you provide a PR to make it easy for us to make this change?
(Ideally with tests.)
> Reduce ignored package scope of KafkaAppender
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LOG4J2-3256
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3256
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Dongjin Lee
> Priority: Major
>
> As of present, KafkaAppender ignores logging messages from the loggers
> starting with "org.apache.kafka". This is because KafkaAppender uses
> KafkaPoducer internally and to avoid recursive logging.
> However, the current ignored package scope, "org.apache.kafka", is too large,
> since KafkaProducer uses "org.apache.kafka.common" and
> "org.apache.kafka.client" only. It is problematic when Apache Kafka uses
> log4j2 for its logging.
> As of present, Apache Kafka is still using log4j 1.x, but a migration project
> is under-progress:
> * KAFKA-9366
> * KAFKA-12399
> If this project is taken, Apache Kafka will deprecate its log4j-appender and
> migrate into log4j2's KafkaAppender. Reducing the ignored package scope is a
> prior task to this work.
