Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-1944:
-------------------------------------
The problem here is that the programmatic configuration is occurring after
Log4j has already initialized. If the user provides a configuration file or a
programmatic configuration before Log4j initializes this error won't be logged.
There is no way to know the user is going to provide a programmatic
configuration after Log4j is referenced so as far as Log4j is concerned no
configuration was provided. The only way to suppress the message is through
rudimentary filtering as I suggested.
> Should suppress message "ERROR No log4j2 configuration file found..." when
> programmatic API is used to config log4j.

> Log4j can be configured through log4j's configuration API. There are cases
> that an organization want to control the log4j configuration through the
> configuration API and discourage the use of config file. The error message
> {code}
> ERROR No log4j2 configuration file found. Using default configuration:
> logging only errors to the console.
> {code}
> is misleading.
> Can this be downgraded to WARN message, or provide a way to suppress it?
