Greetings fellow Archiva users!

I have installed Archiva on Ubuntu 18.04, it is a standalone installation with 
a separate base directory as described in this page: 
http://archiva.apache.org/docs/2.2.3/adminguide/standalone.html
This is all working well.

We have a corporate log retention policy and we use Linux logrotate to 
implement consistent log rotation all log files.
 
I would like to customize the logging, specifically the log file name and 
disable log rotation.  I would like to disable log file rotation by 
Archiva/log4j2 and use Linux logrotate.  

It appears that the Archiva web application has its own log4j2 configuration 
file in the directory:
apps/archiva/WEB-INF/classes/log4j2.xml

Is it advisable to modify this configuration file or should I create my own 
log4j2 configuration file in ARCHIVA_BASE/conf/ directory?

Then specify this configuration file in the wrapper.conf using the following 
method:
wrapper.java.additional.x=-Dlog4j.configurationFile=%ARCHIVA_BASE%/conf/myLog4j2.xml


Will this work?  Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Oz
