Tomcat9 Log4j2 - Logging is Different Between Two Servers

Question

I am running two different Tomcat9 servers (DEV, PROD), each at separate CentOS 7 service providers, and the app logs generated, using the same log4j2.xml, are different. In the DEV version I get a full log of com.example, but in the PROD version I only get org.hibernate logging.

Both servers are configured similarly (shown further down). Both use same log4j2.xml, MyWebApp.war deployed on each Tomcat is identical.

Both Tomcats are standard installs - meaning, I have not added any log4j jars or properties to either one.

I hope someone has some things to consider.

Thanks,

Bob

Answer 1

I'm the OP. Problem solved.

Was due to Jelastic not refreshing webapps folder following Tomcat deploy. Therefore, old log4j2.xml was being used.
