no way to turn off status logging

[voddan]

Description

Status logger keeps printing to console despite me setting it to OFF in all ways I could think of:

1. set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dlog4j2.StatusLogger.level="OFF"
2. set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dlog4j2.StatusLoggerLevel="OFF"
3. <Configuration monitorInterval="60" status="OFF">

Configuration

Version: 2.24.3

Operating system: Windows 11

JDK: Amazon Correto 17.0.12

Logs

The exception I get (it can repeat itself many times, this is jus one part):

Reproduction

My log4j2 configuration has a Socket appender

<Socket name="NETWORK"
        host="127.0.0.1" port="1234560" protocol="TCP"
        immediateFlush="false" bufferedIo="true" bufferSize="204800"
        immediateFail="false" reconnectDelayMillis="30000">
    <JsonLayout properties="true"/>
</Socket>

When there are network problems, it fails with exception "Unable to write to stream TCP:127.0.0.1:1234560 for appender". When I set status logging to OFF I expect those errors to disappear from my console. Instead something weird happens: instead of printing those exceptions right away on configuration loading, the app starts working without them, but then prints them anyways 20-30 seconds later.

@voddan,

Can you add more context, what kind of application are you running? JAVA_OPTS is supported only by some Java applications, unlike JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS, which is interpreted by newer JVMs (see this SO question).

Did you try:

set LOG4J_STATUS_LOGGER_LEVEL=OFF

?
Unless I am mistaken, the Windows set command will consider double quotes " as part of the argument, so:

set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dlog4j2.StatusLogger.level="OFF"

will actually set the log4j2.StatusLogger.level to "OFF" (double quotes included). If you want to go this way use:

set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dlog4j2.statusLoggerLevel=OFF

(the proper capitalization of the property is log4j2.statusLoggerLevel; since version 2.24.0 only log4j2.statusLoggerLevel and its legacy version log4j2.StatusLogger.level work).

@voddan, judging from your earlier tickets on customizing the Status Logger behavior, and then here asking for how to disable the status logger, IMHO, you're trying to fix the wrong thing. There is a network connectivity issue, and your appender is reporting its failing state – this is all normal. I assume, in an ideal environment network connectivity should be pretty stable. If in your environment it is not, you might consider introducing a Failover Appender. This said, the Socket Appender (i.e., AbstractOutputStreamAppender) will still dump the Unable to write to stream to the status logger anyway. I think we can indeed improve there. Instead of log + throw (which is the case right now), we can switch the behavior to just throw. @ppkarwasz, WDYT?

[voddan]

@vy You are right in that I have a bigger problem than described in this ticket. I created separate tickets because several approaches to it did not work. Ideally, I would like to be able to turn off StatusLogging completely, independent of the bigger picture, and this is what this ticket is about.

you might consider introducing a Failover Appender. This said, the Socket Appender (i.e., AbstractOutputStreamAppender) will still dump the Unable to write to stream to the status logger anyway

That's exactly what I found out in my testing - having a Failover does not help with StatusLogger spamming to the console. If you create a ticket about that problem, please link it here and I will upvote it!

[vy]

@voddan, please follow the assistance @ppkarwasz has kindly provided above, and let us know of the outcome. If it doesn't work for you, you might want to troubleshoot how StatusLogger.Config is instantiated by plugging in a debugger and stepping through its constructors.

[voddan]

@ppkarwasz

Thank you for detailed suggestions, however I tried all the variations you mentioned, with the same effect - StatusLogger still prints to Console after about 20-25 seconds after startup.

JAVA_OPTS is supported only by some Java applications, unlike JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS, which is interpreted by newer JVMs

I think we use both JAVA_OPTS and JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS with no issues in other places in our application. You can also see from the log below that JVM parameters do get passed.

Here is the start of the logs until log4j is configured, with some parts redacted out for security:
