Re: [External] Re: How to specify a log4j2.xml config file outside
from classpath?
Both solutions doesn't work for me.
I tested the following in the log4j2.component.properties:
1. log4j.configurationFile=file:///<path>/log4j2.xml
2. log4j.configurationFile=/<path>/log4j2.xml
Do you have any other ideas?
Greetings,
Christian

It's log4j.configurationFile use this property to specify external config.
As in,
`log4j.configurationFile=/path/to/log4j2.xml`

I’d have to look at the code to be sure, but you might try configuring it as a url - file:///mypath .
