How to change the log4j2 log level of a running application without restarting?
Hi Team,
How can we change the log level of a running application without
restarting the program?
It will be really helpful if someone can point me in the right direction.
Any Java examples or documentation?
I used to achieve this using 'DOMConfigurator' in log4j.
Regards,

HiHi,
Take a look at the Configurator class.

Yes there is.
This page has more detail: https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/jmx.html
I remember there is an MBean API for changing the log level.

Isn't there a JMX/mbean based solution?

Thank you Ralph and Gary for quick response.
I was testing using the 'monitorInterval' in intellij. I was testing by
changing log4j2.xml file in 'resources' folder.
I completely forgot the fact that the files get copied to 'out' from the
source folder when intellij starts running the application.
Regards,
Alwin

There are several ways. If you are using Spring Boot you can use the REST API they provide. If you are using a configuration file just add monitorInterval=n where n is the number of seconds to poll for changes. The configuration will automatically reload if you do that. Finally, as Gary noted you can programmatically do that using the Configurator class.
