Question

Is possible to load log4j2 config.yml from config server or reaload spring boot logging configuration allways from the config server? Or get the config from a git? For example:

logging:
  config: http://xxx.xx.xx.xx:3000/admin123/config-repository/src/master/log4j2.yml

Answer 1

You must read the file in raw mode to get the configuration from gogs. So, your url with be something like this:

http://xxx.xx.xx.75:3000/admin123/config-repository/raw/master/log4j2.xml

Answer 2

Yes, by specifying the destination URL with system property log4j.configurationFile . This accepts any wellformed URL.
