Remko Popma commented on LOG4J2-1309:
-------------------------------------

This may be a bug I introduced when I was addressing memory leaks in web apps:

The StatusLogger keeps LogEvents with ParameterizedMessage objects in a ring 
buffer. Some of the parameters were things like the LoggerContext. Because of 
this strong reference, the Log4j context could not be garbage collected when 
the web app was stopped/restarted.

What I did to solve this was create ParameterizedNoReferenceMessageFactory and 
use that for the StatusLogger. The implementation of that factory is a bit 
simplistic: it creates a SimpleMessage, which means the Throwable object logged 
by the StatusLogger can no longer be obtained from the message...
