What is the path for Log4j configuration?
Hi guys,
I am using Log4j2 for Ignite logging, but I always have this error:
"* Failed to instantiate [org.apache.ignite.logger.log4j2.Log4J2Logger]:
Constructor threw exception; nested exception is class
org.apache.ignite.IgniteCheckedException: Log4j configuration path was not
found:config/log4j2.xml*"
This is my configuration.
*data-node-config.xml*
<bean class="org.apache.ignite.configuration.IgniteConfiguration">
<property name="gridLogger">
<bean class="org.apache.ignite.logger.log4j2.Log4J2Logger">
<constructor-arg type="java.lang.String"
value="config/log4j2.xml"/>
</bean>
</property>
</bean>
And my log4j2.xml locates in the same folder as data-node-config.xml. Both
of them are in config folder.
File structure:
--src
|--main
|--java
|--DataNodeStartUp.java
|--resources
|--config
|--data-node-config.xml
|--log4j2.xml
However, whenever I run DataNodeStartUp.java main method to call "Ignite
ignite = Ignition.start("config/data-node-config.xml");" to start my
data-node, it always has the error for cannot find the Log4j configuration
path.
If I use the absolute path it can work. So there is nothing wrong with my
other configurations. What is this relative path of log4j2.xml?
Thanks!

I’ve looked at Ignite’s Log4j2Logger. It calls Log4j2’s Configurator when the class is constructed. The problem here is that if you are using Log4j 2 and are logging before Ignite initializes you do not want this behavior. Furthermore, it tries to programmatically create a ConsoleAppender, which is likely you don’t want or need. I am thinking I will create an alternate Logger for Ignite that doesn’t do any of this and submit a PR for it. With that you will just configure Log4j according to the Log4j documentation and these problems will go away. I could add it to Log4j itself but it really doesn’t belong there.

Previously you had no log4j2.xml so the initial configuration failed but Ignite’s probably worked. Once you moved the file the initial configuration worked but Ignite was unable to configure logging. Personally, I have my own version of Log4j2Logger that only routes ignites logging calls to Log4j and does none of the extra stuff. In that case you just configure Log4j “normally” and this problem doesn’t occur. I’ll take a look at the Ignite code and try to determine why it is having these problems.

Did you add the status=“DEBUG”? I suspect that log4j is being initialized before ignite starts and then Ignite is trying to reconfigure it. Previously you had no log4j2.xml so the initial configuration failed but Ignite’s probably worked. Once you moved the file the initial configuration worked but Ignite was unable to configure logging. Personally, I have my own version of Log4j2Logger that only routes ignites logging calls to Log4j and does none of the extra stuff.

I moved the log4j2.xml into the resources folder now.
--resources
|--config
|--data-node-config.xml
|--log4j2.xml
Now when I start the data-node, the spring log file is fine at first, can
printout the debug mode of spring log, however, it still fails at Ignite.
"Exception in thread "main" class org.apache.ignite.IgniteException: Failed
to instantiate Spring XML application context

creating bean with name
'org.apache.ignite.configuration.IgniteConfiguration#0' defined in URL
[...target/classes/config/data-node-config.xml]: Cannot create inner bean
'org.apache.ignite.logger.log4j2.Log4J2Logger#d2de489' of type
[org.apache.ignite.logger.log4j2.Log4J2Logger] while setting bean property
'gridLogger'; nested exception is
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean

nested exception is class org.apache.ignite.IgniteCheckedException: Log4j

"
So the issue should be within the ignite trying to configure the log.
Do you have any ideas how to resolve it?
If I use absolute path, it could work correctly.

I should qualify that. I would have to look at Ignite’s version of the Log4j2Logger class (I don’t use that myself as it does some things I don’t care for). If it is properly calling the Log4j 2 Configurator with the path you provided then it should be working. However, there are scenarios where it may be initializing Log4j 2 properly but Log4j tried to configure itself first and didn’t find the file but then Ignite forced it to reconfigure with the new file. In that case you can ignore the error message. You should add status=“DEBUG” to the configuration element in your log4j2.xml to see if the file is ever being configured.

Log4j 2 won’t find that because it is config/log4j2.xml and it is looking for log4j2.xml on the classpath.

It is in "target/classes/config/log4j2.xml"
Is this what you mentioned?

Do you have a log4j2.xml on your classpath?

Thanks.
However I checked the log4j 2 is in my pom and it is in my classpath. So I
guess it is not this cause?

Hello,
Check if you have log4j jar in build path? I guess jar is missing.
Thanks,
Raj
