Wildfly -29.0.1 : logging is not working

[venkateswara prasad]

Hi ,

We are migrating wildfly from 10 to 29 version, we have defined different log files in log4j2.xml and it was working fine in 10th version but in 29th version all file logs are storing in server.log.

Here is my log4j2.xml configuration:

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

server.log:

2024-07-23 21:55:26,121 INFO  [PIN_SERVICE_REQUEST_LOGGER] (default task-1) {"name":{"first"
2024-07-23 21:55:26,128 INFO  [AUDIT_LOG] (default task-1) 0,9059be96-777d-46a2
2024-07-23 21:55:26,129 INFO  [DB_PIN_SERVICE_REQUEST_LOGGER] (default task-1) 1,9059be96
2024-07-23 21:55:26,161 INFO  [DB_PIN_SERVICE_RESPONSE_LOGGER] (default task-1) 1,9059be96

Can someone please help what I am doing wrong here. 
I want to write different logs in below different log files but all are writing to single server.log.
${sys:jboss.server.log.dir}/pin-service.log
${sys:jboss.server.log.dir}/pin-service-request.log
${sys:jboss.server.log.dir}/pin-service-response.log
${sys:jboss.server.log.dir}/timing-audit.log
${sys:jboss.server.log.dir}/db-transaction.log


Thanks,
Venkat

WildFly 29 ships with a log4j2-api implementation which writes directly to the JBoss Log Manager. If you want to use your own configuration for your application, then you need to follow steps defined here https://docs.wildfly.org/29/Admin_Guide.html#how-do-i-log4j2.
