> When configuration fails because no Log4j 2 configuration file is found, the following message is logged to the console at ERROR level: 
> {code}
> No log4j2 configuration file found. Using default configuration: logging only errors to the console.
> {code}
> We should be able to improve this. One idea is to add this:
> {code}
> No log4j2 configuration file found. Using default configuration: logging only errors to the console. Set system property 'org.apache.logging.log4j.simplelog.StatusLogger.level' to TRACE to show Log4j2 internal initialization logging.
> {code}
> Another idea is to dump the contents of the StatusLogger ring buffer to the console.
