YAML support requires Jackson as an additional dependency. http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/configuration.html#AutomaticConfiguration should be modified to mention that extra dependencies are required for JSON and YAML. Also, I don't see any YAML configuration examples on the Configuration page.
