[jira] [Comment Edited] (LOG4J2-1301) Automatic reconfiguration with xml and xinclude

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1301?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15172784#comment-15172784 ]

I have implemented this functionality(specifying additonal files to monitor) today as a plugin for my own immediate use. Would adding this functionality directly to XmlConfiguration and FileConfigurationMonitor be an acceptable path to take?

> Automatic reconfiguration does not work with xinclude/xml.
> Modifying xinclude files is not detected as a file change on on the main config file and as such it is not reconfigured when updates are made to files included with xinclude (ie. log4j2-appenders.xml).
> Desired functionality would be to also listen for changes of files that are included by main configuration file as well and update the configuration as needed.
> An alternative would be to allow user to specify additional files to monitor for changes.
