ERROR StatusLogger No log4j2 configuration file found. Using default configuration: logging only errors to the console

error¶

ERROR StatusLogger No log4j2 configuration file found. Using default configuration: logging only errors to the console.

mistake¶

The status logger did not find the log4j2 configuration file and will use the default configuration: only errors are logged to the console.

reason¶

The jar package of log4j2 is log4j2 that comes with the hibernate5 framework. Even if you import a third-party log package in ssh, the system will still call log4j2. The default configuration file is log4j2.xml.

solution¶

Add configuration file log4j2.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<Configuration status="warn">
    <Appenders>
        <Console name="Console" target="SYSTEM_OUT">
            <PatternLayout pattern="%m%n" />
        </Console>
    </Appenders>
    <Loggers>
        <Root level="INFO">
            <AppenderRef ref="Console" />
        </Root>
    </Loggers>
</Configuration>

• After log4j2 is configured, hibernate will output clearer information to the console. When set to status="warn", you will see various detailed output inside log4j2.
• log4j2.xml can be placed anywhere, as long as you finally put it in the classpath, create a new resources directory in the above project to store log4j2.xml, if you try to run it without adding the classpath, an error will be reported.
