For that appender to be used, you need to overide / reconfigure the root logger to actually use it in the same file. You also need to copy all other configurations concerning the "File" appender, since - again - you are not modifying the original definition but creating a new one, which needs to be complete to work properly.</P><P></P><P>Lastly: Out-of-the-box, there is no support for a share-log4j.properties configuration in the extension directory. There is actually no support for overridable / customizable logging in Share at all. This is why I have implemented <A href="https://github.com/Acosix/alfresco-utility#share-tier" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">this feature in one of my addons</A>.</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 04 Sep 2018 08:19:06 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-forum/customizing-log/m-p/70534#M23138 afaust 2018-09-04T08:19:06Z
