["Carter Kozak (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2663?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16891488#comment-16891488 ] 

Carter Kozak commented on LOG4J2-2663:
--------------------------------------

Yaml considers off the same as the boolean value false. This will work if “off” is quoted.
See https://yaml.org/type/bool.html
