Spring cloud client with remote logging config problems

Question

My infraestructure is simple, I have a git server, a spring cloud config server and a microservice that takes the configuration from the config server and git. I get this config file from app-name:

server:
  port: 8893
logging:
  config: http://xxx.xx.xx.xx:3000/admin123/config-repository/raw/master/log4j2.xml

And my log4j2 config xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration status="all" name="MyApp" packages="">
    <Appenders>
        <Syslog name="RFC5424" format="RFC5424" host="xxx.xx.xx.75" port="514"
            protocol="TCP" appName="MyApp" mdcId="mdc" includeMDC="true"
            facility="SYSLOG" enterpriseNumber="18060" newLine="true" messageId="Audit" id="App" 
            reconnectionDelayMillis="100000">
        </Syslog>
        <Async name="Async">
            <AppenderRef ref="RFC5424" />
        </Async>
    </Appenders>
    <Loggers>
        <Logger name="com.mycorp" level="all">
            <AppenderRef ref="Async" />
        </Logger>
        <Root level="all">
            <AppenderRef ref="Async" />
        </Root>
    </Loggers>
</Configuration>

The problem is that the application starts logging on the syslog and then starts logging to the console, but stoping writing on the syslog. So, the log4j config is readed together with the application config but something happend in the middle. Is like the log config applies just for the bootstrap of the application. I made some local tests and I know that the looging.config must be plased on the application.yml, not in the bootstrap.yml, if I do that, I get the same result. Maybe I disclaim some concept.

Here is the last part of the syslog:

hod.annotation.ModelAttributeMethodProcessor@3cfdd348] supports [class org.springframework.cloud.config.environment.Environment] 2015-10-07T20:16:05+00:00 ip 1 2015-10-07T17:17:20.465-03:00 rMyName MyApp - Audit - Testing if return value handler [org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.method.annotation.RequestResponseBodyMethodProcessor@449591d4] supports [class org.springframework.cloud.config.environment.Environment] 2015-10-07T20:16:05+00:00 ip 1 2015-10-07T17:17:20.469-03:00 rMyName MyApp - Audit - Written [Environment [name=micro-central-get-ticket, profiles=[default], label=master, propertySources=[PropertySource [name=classpath:/config/micro-central-get-ticket.yml]]]] as "application/json;charset=UTF-8" using [org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter@4e3a58ee] 2015-10-07T20:18:40+00:00 ip 1 2015-10-07T17:19:55.118-03:00 rMyName MyApp - Audit - Null ModelAndView returned to DispatcherServlet with name 'dispatcherServlet': assuming HandlerAdapter completed request handling 2015-10-07T20:18:40+00:00 ip 1 2015-10-07T17:19:55.118-03:00 rMyName MyApp - Audit - Cleared thread-bound request context: org.apache.catalina.connector.RequestFacade@5469414b 2015-10-07T20:18:40+00:00 ip 1 2015-10-07T17:19:55.118-03:00 rMyName MyApp - Audit - Successfully completed request 2015-10-07T20:18:40+00:00 ip 1 2015-10-07T17:19:55.118-03:00 rMyName MyApp - Audit - Publishing event in org.springframework.boot.context.embedded.AnnotationConfigEmbeddedWebApplicationContext@4d0b0fd4: ServletRequestHandledEvent: url=[/micro-central-get-ticket/default]; client=[127.0.0.1]; method=[GET]; servlet=[dispatcherServlet]; session=[null]; user=[null]; time=[618967ms]; status=[OK] 2015-10-07T20:18:40+00:00 ip 1 2015-10-07T17:19:55.118-03:00 rMyName MyApp - Audit - Publishing event in org.springframework.context.annotation.AnnotationConfigApplicationContext@34f7234e: ServletRequestHandledEvent: url=[/micro-central-get-ticket/default]; client=[127.0.0.1]; method=[GET]; servlet=[dispatcherServlet]; session=[null]; user=[null]; time=[618967ms]; status=[OK]

And there the log writen on the console:
