Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-3395:
-------------------------------------

You should configure your appenders using an [Arbiter |https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/configuration.html#Arbiters]and then programmatically set the value the Aribter will base its decision on.

> I have an Java application that execute on hadoop cluster and I need to capture all the log message to either file or console based on user's choice. I Am creating Console and RollingFileAppender programmatically as [here|https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70996311/all-logs-are-not-going-to-file-when-file-logging-enabled] and I was able to redirect my application logs to file or console as desired. But my cluster logs (sysout or syserr) are always going to console. How can i overwrite this default behavior?
