> It would be useful to be able to update the Log4J settings for a running Java broker via JMX, incase it was desirable to adjust logging to investigate an issue which became apparent after startup.
> Whilst Log4J supports monitoring its own configuration file for updates, the broker must be started with this enabled for it to be of any use, and updating the settings by manually modifying the xml file runs the risk of accidentally rendering the file invalid, which could lead to serious issues when the update is detected and applied by Log4j.
> In order to address these issues, adding the ability to to update the settings via JMX would allow users to be able to adjust the Log4J settings in 2 ways: by modifying the xml file programatically rather than by hand, or by modifying the Log4J runtime settings directly, allowing (temporary) updates even where Log4J has not been instructed to monitor its configuration file for change.
