-----------------------------------

             Summary: Different handling for "getLogger(Class)" and 
"Configurator.setLevel(Class,Level)" on inner class
                 Key: LOG4J2-3631
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3631
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 2.19.0
         Environment: Java 11 (Temurin)

Maven
            Reporter: Jeff Thomas


I have created a sample project with a simple JUnit test here:

[https://github.com/JWT007/log4j2_logLevelClass]

Basically I have an inner class and when I get a logger for that class I get 
the logger named.

{{Log4jLevelTest.InnerClass}}

and I can see its associated LoggerConfig of the same name.

{{If I call "Configurator.setLevel(InnerClass.class, Level.DEBUG)" it does not 
change the level of my logger but rather creates a new LoggerConfig with the 
following name:}}

{{Log4jLevelTest$InnerClass}}

Here the output of my sample test:

 
{code:java}
 
==================================================================================
Class name                :: Log4jLevelTest$InnerClass
 
==================================================================================
Logger name               :: Log4jLevelTest.InnerClass
Logger level              :: INFO
Configured Loggers (1)    :: 
  o Log4jLevelTest.InnerClass(INFO)
 
==================================================================================
>> Configurator.setLevel(Inner.class, Level.DEBUG)
Logger name               :: Log4jLevelTest.InnerClass
Logger level              :: INFO
Configured Loggers (1)    :: 
  o Log4jLevelTest.InnerClass(INFO)
  o Log4jLevelTest$InnerClass(DEBUG)
{code}
