-----------------------------------------

             Summary: StatusLogger's log Level cannot be changed as advertised
                 Key: LOG4J2-3340
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3340
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Michael Vorburger
             Fix For: 2.17.2


I would like to see the warn log from {{LogManager}} re. which implementation it picked, it 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.
