Hi Phillipe,
Here is the debugging I've tried so far. First, setting the JVM_ARGS to
point to the log4j2 config file
C:\Projects\Software\apache-jmeter-5.0\bin>set
JVM_ARGS="-Dlog4j.configurationFile=file://c:/projects/perftest/src/test/conf/log4j2.xml"
Starting JMeter, the following errors are displayed:
C:\Projects\Software\apache-jmeter-5.0\bin>jmeter.bat
2019-03-26 09:35:27,564 main ERROR Error processing element

2019-03-26 09:35:27,573 main ERROR Error processing element

2019-03-26 09:35:27,759 main ERROR Unable to locate appender
"SumoJmeterRunlogAppender" for logger config "JmeterRunLogger"
Specifying path to the dirs the JARs are in does not help either:
C:\Projects\Software\apache-jmeter-5.0\bin>jmeter.bat
-Jplugin_dependency_paths=c:/projects/perftest/src/test/resources/lib
-Jsearch_paths=c:/projects/perftest/src/test/resources/lib/ext

2019-03-26 09:38:21,472 main ERROR Unable to locate appender
"SumoJmeterRunlogAppender" for logger config "JmeterRunLogger"
If I set the log4j2 XML config to trace:
then the following logs are displayed:
2019-03-26 09:45:43,708 main DEBUG Took 0.129713 seconds to load 1 plugins

2019-03-26 09:45:43,727 main ERROR Error processing element
SumoLogicAppender ([Appenders: null]): CLASS_NOT_FOUND
The JAR is being loaded according to the logs:
2019-03-26 09:45:49,119 DEBUG o.a.j.JMeter:
c:\projects\projects\src\test\resources\lib\ext\sumologic-log4j2-appender-1.7.jar
Given the timestamps, though, it indicates to me that the JAR is not being
loaded by JMeter until *after* log4j2 logging needs it?
