I don't see any problems at all, other than, likely, a misunderstanding of what is supposed to occur. I see 2 loggers with A2 and A3 appenders attached, respectively.... log4j.logger.org.apache.log4j.errors=ERROR, A2 log4j.logger.org.apache.log4j.fulltrace=DEBUG, A3 Given that neither of these logger names match up with any package/class you would be using, it makes perfect sense that you'd see no logging output for this. And I'm not sure where you came up with these logger names anyway, other than possibly some documentation relating to the abandoned Log4j-1.3 effort which attempted to use itself for logging. Try the following logger definitions. And note that I set the root logger to "WARN" rather than "DEBUG". That way, annoying debug messages coming from various frameworks like Spring, some of the various apache commons frameworks, etc..., won't unnecessarily pollute your logs. Also, I added "Threshold=ERROR" to the A2 appender so that it will reject any logging messages lower than ERROR (I didn't know what your package was so I called it "org.mypackage". Change as needed.)... log4j.rootLogger=WARN, A1 log4j.logger.org.mypackage=DEBUG, A2, A3 log4j.appender.A2.Threshold=ERROR Jake > > -- beginning of ma11yMonitor-log4j.properties --- > # Licensed to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) under one or more > # contributor license agreements.
