I'm using spring-boot-starter
, and would like to configure log4j2.xml
to log asynchron + different content to different logfiles.
I created the log4j2 file, but Spring
still uses the spring-boot default logging. How can I switch the logging?

I've a better way:
Exclude logback logger:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-logging</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
Add log4j2 boot starter:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-log4j2</artifactId>
</dependency>
Source: http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/1.5.1.RELEASE/reference/htmlsingle/#howto-configure-log4j-for-logging
Enjoy!
Try this:
Exclude spring-boot-starter-logging e.g.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-logging</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
Add dependencies for your logging interface e.g. slf4j
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j-slf4j-impl</artifactId>
<version>2.0.2</version>
</dependency>
Add other logging implementations pointing to chosen logging interface e.g.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>jcl-over-slf4j</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>jul-to-slf4j</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j-over-slf4j</artifactId>
</dependency>
Add your target logging implementation e.g.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j-api</artifactId>
<version>2.0.2</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j-core</artifactId>
<version>2.0.2</version>
</dependency>
And it should work.
This is what worked for me. Having two additional exclusions. Else Application was not picking up log4j and was had conflict
Actual binding is of type [ch.qos.logback.classic.util.ContextSelectorStaticBinder]
