BasicConfigurator replacement in log4j2

Question

I am working on a log4j 1 to log4j 2 migration. Inside a AppConfigInitializer file we use something like this -

BasicConfigurator.configure(consoleAppender);

What shall I replace this with to get it working in log4j2. I am using the backward compatibility bridge as well but that has broken BasicConfigurator implementation.

I think I need to do this using config file, but not able to find how.

Answer 1

The solution above works, but since default log level is ERROR, not all logs are shown. Log level can be adjusted with Configurator.setRootLevel method:

    Configurator.initialize(new DefaultConfiguration());
    Configurator.setRootLevel(Level.INFO);

Answer 2

Configurator.initialize(new DefaultConfiguration());
