I am using log4j 2.4 and trying to convert log4j2.xml to log4j.properties, however monitorInterval property doesn't seem to be working with log4j2.properties.
- status = trace
- name=PropertiesConfig
- property.filename = logs
- appenders = console, file
- monitorInterval=10
though log4j2 following documentation
https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/configuration.html#Properties
clearly stats that
Properties configuration files support the advertiser, monitorInterval, name, packages, shutdownHook, status
any changes in property file doesn't leads to reloading of logging configuration. On the contrary, it seems to be perfectly working in xml format
<Configuration status="TRACE" monitorInterval="5">
where whenever I do make any changes in .xml my log4j configuration is picked up and is verified via following log.
2016-06-17 14:43:17,267 Thread-5 DEBUG Reconfiguration started for context 1198108795 (org.apache.logging.log4j.core.LoggerContext@86be70a)

2016-06-17 14:43:17,273 Thread-5 DEBUG Initializing configuration XmlConfiguration[location=/Users/userx/Desktop/logs/log4j2_prod.xml]
I also tried to upgrade Log4j version to 2.5 but still observe same behavior.
