Gary D. Gregory edited comment on LOG4J2-3340 at 1/18/22, 1:28 PM: ------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: In StatusLogger, we have: this.logger = new SimpleLogger("StatusLogger", Level.ERROR, false, true, showDateTime, false, dateFormat, messageFactory, PROPS, System.err); final Level defaultLevel = Level.toLevel(DEFAULT_STATUS_LEVEL, Level.WARN); Which does not match, so it is confusing. There are two settings with 2 different defaults: The default logger level is ERROR. The default listener level is WARN. I'll clarify the code and Javadoc, and make sure the tests pass. was (Author: garydgregory): Note: In StatusLogger, we have: this.logger = new SimpleLogger("StatusLogger", Level.ERROR, false, true, showDateTime, false, dateFormat, messageFactory, PROPS, System.err); final Level defaultLevel = Level.toLevel(DEFAULT_STATUS_LEVEL, Level.WARN); Which does not match, so it is confusing.

Gregory > Priority: Major > Fix For: 2.17.2 > > > I would like to see the warn log from {{LogManager}} re. which implementation > it picked, if multiple. > I would like to be able to do this without a system property but using a > properties file on the classpath. > StatusLogger's JavaDoc (currently) says that "This can be overridden via a > system property named #DEFAULT_STATUS_LISTENER_LEVEL and will work with any > Log4j provider.", where DEFAULT_STATUS_LISTENER_LEVEL is > "log4j2.StatusLogger.level". > However that currently doesn't seem to quite work as advertised. (If you > think it does, please suggest how.) I can see some stuff in StatusLogger > related to its default log level been (only?) for StatusListener and > StatusData? This seems confusing. > I'll raise a PR with a proposed simple fix for this for your review. > [~ckozak] / [~ggregory] -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.1#820001)
