Spring boot : Logs not getting generated with log4j2 config file having custom name
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I am trying to use log4j2 with Spring Boot (2.0.3).
I have added below dependency in my pom file and excluded spring-boot-starter-logging as well:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-log4j2</artifactId>
</dependency>
The problem is when I deploy my war on tomcat, and put the config file with name log4j2.xml on class path(WEB-INF/classes) logs are getting generated. But If I am trying to use a different file name by putting below property in application.properties, it is not working.
logging.config=classpath:mylog4j2.xml
I have put mylog4j2 in the same folder (WEB-INF/classes) as log4j2, but still logs are not getting generated.
Also I am not allowed to set config path using command line arguments and have to use property file only.
Can anyone please help me out.

Also, when I am running the same code from eclipse using this property (logging.config=mylog4j2.xml), logs are getting generated successfully.

application.properties are not system properties. Try this out: stackoverflow.com/a/36896400/1235935. Or else pass the property in the java command line used to start the app.-Dlogging.config=classpath:mylog4j2.xml
