Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-3632:
-------------------------------------
We have had others try to do something similar. Dynamically creating a new
log4j2.xml (or json or yaml) is indeed the best approach for doing this. It
sounds like what you are looking for is a way to capture the current logging
configuration? IMO, this is actually a great request as it makes sense for us
to allow you to capture the "translated" configuration so that you can stop
using the log4j 1 configuration file. I have to note though that your UI would
need to be modified to edit a Log4j 2 configuration. However, if the
configuration has any Log4j 1 custom Appenders I don't think doing that will
work as they are wrapped with classes that are not plugins and so cannot appear
in a logging configuration file.
I should note that the original logging configuration file should always be
able to be retrieved.

> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Log4j 1.2 bridge
> Affects Versions: 2.19.0
> Reporter: Jeff Thomas
> Assignee: Piotr Karwasz
> Priority: Major

> I have used the log4j 1.2 bridge XmlConfigurator to load a 1.2 XML
> configuration and performed a `Configurator.reconfigure(configuration)`.
> Then I retrieved a logger using "Logger.getLogger(String)".
> When I then call 'Logger.getAppenders()" the returned enumeration is empty.
> Looking at the logger in the debugger I can see the attached Appenders in the
> associated LoggerConfig.

> In `org.apache.log4j.Category` I stepped through and got to here which
> returned an empty collection.

> I might be doing something wrong ... it has been known to happen. :) But I
> was expecting to get the two configured appenders "console" and "file" here.
> The "problem" _seems_ to be here with the stream filter:
> {code:java}
> return Collections.enumeration(appenders.stream()
> // omit native Log4j 2.x appenders
> .filter(AppenderAdapter.Adapter.class::isInstance)
> .map(AppenderWrapper::adapt)
> .collect(Collectors.toSet()));{code}
> The Javadoc in `Category` does say:
> {quote} Get all the Log4j 1.x appenders contained in this category as an
> \{@link Enumeration}. Log4j 2.x appenders are omitted.
> {quote}
> But I did load the configuration with the Bridge and I was hoping my legacy
> code would still get the Appenders as before.
