             Summary: Provide ability to configure Geode appenders in log4j2.xml
                 Key: GEODE-2644
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-2644
             Project: Geode
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: logging
            Reporter: Kirk Lund


Presently Geode adds and configures the LogWriterAppender and AlertAppender at runtime. These appenders cannot be specified or configured within xml. This is a request to change Geode so that these appenders can be specified and configured in a custom log4j2.xml file.

This ticket requires GEODE-1275. Right now these appenders are added and removed by Geode when connecting or disconnecting from the DistributedSystem. When these appenders were introduced, this behavior was required to maintain previous behavior. If we refactor the appenders to add one more layer of indirection between the appender and the DS lifecycle, then this internal layer could enable/disable active appending even when the appenders are specified within log4j2.xml.
