Very simple log4j2 properties configuration file using Console and Rolling File appender

Question

I\'d like a log4j2 properties file configuration with a console and a rolling file appender using log4j2 that can be used different application. The log configuration should rot

Answer 1

This is the simplest config if you just need to use console appender.

name=config
appenders=console
appender.console.type=Console
appender.console.name=STDOUT
appender.console.layout.type=PatternLayout
#appender.console.layout.pattern =%d{HH:mm:ss} [%t] %c{1} [%-5level] - %msg%n
appender.console.layout.pattern=%d{dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss} [%-5p] (%F:%L) - %m%n
rootLogger.level=info
rootLogger.appenderRefs=stdout
rootLogger.appenderRef.stdout.ref=STDOUT

#if you want to make package specific configuration
#logger.org.apache=warn
