Hi Remko,
thanks for the reply.
I'd still like something which can be enabled through system preoperties
and logs at very early stages, for example, where the config is read from.
Marco.

All you need to do is set status="trace" in your log4j2.xml config file.
So the beginning of your config looks like this:
<Configuration status="trace" ...

Hi,
I'm trying to get log4j 2.0 debug information printed out in the console but I
couldn't manage to get them.
In log4j 1.x you would set the system property "log4j.debug".
I thought that the mechanism was similar in log4j 2.x and apparently it should
be by setting
log4j2.StatusLogger.level=DEBUG
Still nothing, so I dug a little bit in the code and found that the
StatusLogger logs its messages either to the listeners (if there's at least
one) or to a SimpleLogger (logger) which is initialized in the constructor
(method StatusLogger#logMessage()).
I found that there was a JMX listener registered so I disabled JMX beans with
log4j2.disable.jmx=true
but still no luck: the messages don't appear in the console.
I noticed though that the constructor might be the source of the problem:
private StatusLogger() {
this.logger = new SimpleLogger("StatusLogger", Level.ERROR, false,
true, false, false, Strings.EMPTY, null, PROPS,
System.err);
this.listenersLevel = Level.toLevel(DEFAULT_STATUS_LEVEL,
Level.WARN).intLevel();
}
The SimpleLogger is initialized using level ERROR therefore the isEnabled
implementation in StatusLogger returns the logging level of this.logger which
is always ERROR even if I wanted DEBUG.
Would it make sense to use DEFAULT_STATUS_LEVEL to actually set the level into
the SimpleLogger constructor?
Why is it so hard to get debug messages showing up in the console (I mean
disable JMX and set the property to DEBUG)?
Best,
Marco Cosentino
