--_000_BYAPR10MB346355437C05F83A766F034EE473ABYAPR10MB3463namp_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable In several places in Loader, such as here: https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/blob/2.x/log4j-core/src/main/java/= org/apache/logging/log4j/core/util/Loader.java#L94 There's a message at trace level saying basically "Trying to find [FILENAME= ] using THINGY". This is very useful, because it lets you know all the places that log4j is = looking for config files. However, there's no good way to find which of these attempts succeeded. Earlier today I had to put a debug breakpoint inside this class to find out= which log4j2.xml was getting loaded. It would be nice if successful attempts were logged, perhaps even at a leve= l higher than trace. (maybe debug??)
