[jira] [Commented] (LOG4J2-3340) StatusLogger's log Level cannot be changed as advertised

["Michael Vorburger (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3340?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17476319#comment-17476319 ] 

Michael Vorburger commented on LOG4J2-3340:
-------------------------------------------

https://github.com/vorburger/Learning-Log4j2 is an example project illustrating the issue: Even though it has a {{ log4j2.StatusLogger.properties}} with {{log4j2.StatusLogger.level=WARN}} on the classpath, that does not actually show WARN level logs of StatusLogger, which is pretty confusing. After all, the property IS called StatusLogger.level and not StatusLogger.listeners.level, or something like that.

> 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.
