For those who don't know yet, Spring Boot considers switching from Logback to Log4j <https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/22149>. Ralph is performing a great lobbying example there. Recently the ticket has been updated with the following feature checks I have attached below. Spring Boot will make a great customer for many perspectives of the Log4j project; visibility, improvements, stability, etc. I am personally really excited about this development and watching it closely. I wanted to share these news with the rest of you.

One area that's just come up is providing log4j2-based support for the <springProfile> <https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.4.4/reference/htmlsingle/#profile-specific-configuration> and the <springProperty> <https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.4.4/reference/htmlsingle/#environment-properties> elements that we currently support with Logback. <springProperty> is rather like a lookup and is quite similar to the existing Spring Boot lookup. <springProperty> doesn't have a dependency on Spring Cloud whereas it appears the Log4j2's Spring Boot lookup does? <springProfile> provides some basic conditional configuration support, allowing configuration to be applied based on the Spring profiles that are active. From what I've seen, there isn't something similar in Log4j2 at the moment. Spring Boot 3 is by no means imminent (it won't be in 2021) so there's no urgency here at the moment, but it would be interesting to explore what plugging <springProperty> and <springProfile> support into Log4j2 might look like. — You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
