Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-2956:
-------------------------------------

Please verify the versions of Log4j included in your application. spring-boot-starter-log4j2 may not be including the Log4j 2.13.3. Since you didn't specify the Spring boot version I can't check that.  But you can unzip your jar or war into a temp directory and look in BOOT-INF/lib to see what versions of the jars are included.

As an alternative, you can replace the spring boot starter log4j2 jar with the actual log4j dependencies and you can directly control the versions.

> First of all I have no idea what is missing. Without mentioned dependency application startup is correct. Also, removing DynamicThresholdFilter solves the problem as well.
> Second of all it seems that exception message is somewhat broken, because it does not say anything about what class is missing. I've tried to debug this, but class ContextDataFactory is pretty hard to debug. Fix in exception message should ease the hunt.
