             Summary: Incorrect attribute name in PropertiesRewritePolicy example
                 Key: LOG4J2-950
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-950
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Documentation
    Affects Versions: 2.1
            Reporter: Joel Edwards
            Priority: Minor


http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.0/manual/appenders.html#RewriteAppender

On the documentation site on the _Appenders_ page, under the _RewriteAppender_ heading, _RewritePolicy_ section, _PropertiesRewritePolicy_ subsection, there is the following example:

{code|title=example}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration status="warn" name="MyApp" packages="">
  <Appenders>
    <Console name="STDOUT" target="SYSTEM_OUT">
      <PatternLayout pattern="%m%n"/>
    </Console>
    <Rewrite name="rewrite">
      <AppenderRef ref="STDOUT"/>
      <PropertiesRewritePolicy>
        <Property key="user">${sys:user.name}</Property>
        <Property key="env">${sys:environment}</Property>
      </PropertiesRewritePolicy>
    </Rewrite>
  </Appenders>
  <Loggers>
    <Root level="error">
      <AppenderRef ref="Rewrite"/>
    </Root>
  </Loggers>
</Configuration>
{code}

The {{Configuration -> Appenders -> Rewrite -> PropertiesRewritePolicy -> Property}} nodes in the example are using an attribute with the name {{key}}. When tested in log4j 2.1, this did not work. However, using the attribute {{name}} did work.
