Hi Phillipe, Here is the debugging I've tried so far. First, setting the JVM_ARGS to point to the log4j2 config file C:\Projects\Software\apache-jmeter-5.0\bin>set JVM_ARGS="-Dlog4j.configurationFile=file://c:/projects/perftest/src/test/conf/log4j2.xml"
Starting JMeter, the following errors are displayed: C:\Projects\Software\apache-jmeter-5.0\bin>jmeter.bat 2019-03-26 09:35:27,564 main ERROR Error processing element SumoLogicAppender ([Appenders: null]): CLASS_NOT_FOUND 2019-03-26 09:35:27,571 main ERROR Error processing element SumoLogicAppender ([Appenders: null]): CLASS_NOT_FOUND 2019-03-26 09:35:27,573 main ERROR Error processing element SumoLogicAppender ([Appenders: null]): CLASS_NOT_FOUND 2019-03-26 09:35:27,753 main ERROR Unable to locate appender "SumoJmeterLogAppender" for logger config "root" 2019-03-26 09:35:27,757 main ERROR Unable to locate appender "SumoJmeterRunlogAppender" for logger config "org.apache.jmeter.modifiers.JSR223PreProcessor" 2019-03-26 09:35:27,759 main ERROR Unable to locate appender "SumoJmeterRunlogAppender" for logger config "JmeterRunLogger" Specifying path to the dirs the JARs are in does not help either: C:\Projects\Software\apache-jmeter-5.0\bin>jmeter.bat -Jplugin_dependency_paths=c:/projects/perftest/src/test/resources/lib -Jsearch_paths=c:/projects/perftest/src/test/resources/lib/ext 2019-03-26 09:38:21,288 main ERROR Error processing element SumoLogicAppender ([Appenders: null]): CLASS_NOT_FOUND 2019-03-26 09:38:21,295 main ERROR Error processing element SumoLogicAppender ([Appenders: null]): CLASS_NOT_FOUND 2019-03-26 09:38:21,298 main ERROR Error processing element SumoLogicAppender ([Appenders: null]): CLASS_NOT_FOUND 2019-03-26 09:38:21,465 main ERROR Unable to locate appender "SumoJmeterLogAppender" for logger config "root" 2019-03-26 09:38:21,469 main ERROR Unable to locate appender "SumoJmeterRunlogAppender" for logger config "org.apache.jmeter.modifiers.JSR223PreProcessor" 2019-03-26 09:38:21,472 main ERROR Unable to locate appender "SumoJmeterRunlogAppender" for logger config "JmeterRunLogger" If I set the log4j2 XML config to trace: <Configuration status="TRACE" packages="org.apache.jmeter.gui.logging,com.sumologic.log4j"> then the following logs are displayed: 2019-03-26 09:45:43,708 main DEBUG Took 0.129713 seconds to load 1 plugins from package org.apache.jmeter.gui.logging 2019-03-26 09:45:43,711 main DEBUG Took 0.000764 seconds to load 0 plugins from package com.sumologic.log4j 2019-03-26 09:45:43,712 main DEBUG PluginManager 'Core' found 117 plugins 2019-03-26 09:45:43,713 main DEBUG PluginManager 'Level' found 0 plugins 2019-03-26 09:45:43,724 main ERROR Error processing element SumoLogicAppender ([Appenders: null]): CLASS_NOT_FOUND 2019-03-26 09:45:43,725 main ERROR Error processing element SumoLogicAppender ([Appenders: null]): CLASS_NOT_FOUND 2019-03-26 09:45:43,727 main ERROR Error processing element SumoLogicAppender ([Appenders: null]): CLASS_NOT_FOUND The JAR is being loaded according to the logs: 2019-03-26 09:45:49,119 DEBUG o.a.j.JMeter: c:\projects\projects\src\test\resources\lib\ext\sumologic-log4j2-appender-1.7.jar Given the timestamps, though, it indicates to me that the JAR is not being loaded by JMeter until *after* log4j2 logging needs it?
