Setting the log level application.properties changes the parent log level is logger is not explicitly defined in log4j2 configuration. #3550

When using log4j2 and I set the log level in application.properties for a logger that is not explicitly configured in log4j2 configuration file it actually changes its parent logger level (in worst case the root logger level).

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

…at is not configured. Seems that Configuration#getLoggerConfig(String) will return the parent configuration if th specified logger name is not explicitly configured in log4j2 configuration. And setting the log level will change some parent logger level. For that reason a new additive LoggerConfig has to be created for the specified logger and then added to the configuration. Fixes spring-projectsgh-3550
