Log4j2 AsyncLogger with rolling file appender not showing file line number

Question

Im using log4j2 with following dependencies:

    
        org.apache.logging.log4j
                


        

Answer 1

First, remove the Async appender, and point the appender-ref of the AsyncLogger to the ProcessorLoggingFile directly. Second, you must add includeLocation="true" on the AsyncLogger.

Having an async appender in addition to an async logger does not help and in this case might be what prevents the includeLocation from working correctly.
