Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-3340:
-------------------------------------
The StatusLogger initializes with the SimpleLogger as the default. When a
configuration takes place a Listener gets registered. So we have a default
logging level for the SimpleLogger (default logging) and we have a level that
filters whether an event is sent to a listener.
Think of it as if the SimpleLogger is the Root Logger with a hard-wired
appender. You are setting the logging level of the Root Logger. Listeners are
similar to separate Appenders where each has its own Level filter.
> StatusLogger's log Level cannot be changed as advertised

> Key: LOG4J2-3340
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3340
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Michael Vorburger
> Assignee: Gary D. Gregory
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.17.2
>
>
> I would like to see the warn log from {{LogManager}} re. which implementation
> it picked, if multiple.
> I would like to be able to do this without a system property but using a
> properties file on the classpath.
> StatusLogger's JavaDoc (currently) says that "This can be overridden via a
> system property named #DEFAULT_STATUS_LISTENER_LEVEL and will work with any
> Log4j provider.", where DEFAULT_STATUS_LISTENER_LEVEL is
> "log4j2.StatusLogger.level".
> However that currently doesn't seem to quite work as advertised. (If you
> think it does, please suggest how.) I can see some stuff in StatusLogger
> related to its default log level been (only?) for StatusListener and
> StatusData? This seems confusing.
> I'll raise a PR with a proposed simple fix for this for your review.
