Log4j 2 Conversion Pattern + negative precision

["Schudt, Christian" <Ch...@cgm.com>]

Hello,

log4j 1 has the possibiliy to specify a negative precision for the logger name in the pattern, e.g.:

c{-4}

which meant, that the 4 left most package names were excluded.

E.g. "org.apache.logging.log4j.core.LogEvent" becomes "core.LogEvent"

In Log4j2, this pattern results in:

"-.-.-.-.core.LogEvent"

How can I achieve the log4j 1 behavior, i.e. excluded the first X package names?

Thanks,
Christian

In Log4j2, you can use %c{2} to _include_ the rightmost 2 packages. See the
docs you point to...
