Log4j2 could not find a logging implementation with Spring Boot

log4j2

I'm getting this error trying to use log4j2 with spring boot.

ERROR StatusLogger Log4j2 could not find a logging implementation. 
Please add log4j-core to the classpath. Using SimpleLogger to log to the console...

I'm have followed this guide: http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/howto-logging.html#howto-configure-log4j-for-logging - and also added the two log4j2-dependencies from https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/maven-artifacts.html

My dependency:tree looks like this:

I have added the standard log4j2.xml-file to src/main/resources/config with the default config:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration>
  <Appenders>
    <Console name="STDOUT" target="SYSTEM_OUT">
      <PatternLayout pattern="%d %-5p [%t] %C{2} (%F:%L) - %m%n"/>
    </Console>
  </Appenders>
  <Loggers>
    <Logger name="org.apache.log4j.xml" level="info"/>
    <Root level="debug">
      <AppenderRef ref="STDOUT"/>
    </Root>
  </Loggers>
</Configuration>

Any guesses? I've tried running from within Spring Tool Suite and with the maven spring-boot plugin.

What is the starter for using Log4j2 for logging in spring boot?

All the Spring Boot starters depend on spring-boot-starter-logging , which uses Logback by default. For using Log4j2, you need to exclude spring-boot-starter-logging and add spring-boot-starter-log4j2 dependency.

How do you implement Log4j2?

There are many ways to use Log4j2 configuration in you application. Using a configuration file written in XML, JSON, YAML or properties file. Programmatically, by creating a configuration factory and configuration implementation. Programmatically, by calling APIs exposed in the configuration interface.

What is Log4j to SLF4J?

The Log4j 2 to SLF4J Adapter allows applications coded to the Log4j 2 API to be routed to SLF4J. Use of this adapter may cause some loss of performance as the Log4j 2 Messages must be formatted before they can be passed to SLF4J.

I looked up the source code of LogManager.class and found the reason was there's no LoggerContextFactory found in log4j-provider.properties which should be found in log4j-core.jar/META-INF.
So check your log4j-core.jar/META-INF/log4j-provider.properties file , or you can delete your log4j-core.jar in your local repository.

It looks your dependencies are correct. This is the pom of working spring-boot application with log4j2 as logging framework:

    <!-- Spring logging -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
        <exclusions>
            <exclusion>
                <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
                <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-logging</artifactId>
            </exclusion>
        </exclusions>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-log4j2</artifactId>
    </dependency>

Put your log4j2.xml into resource folder for running from eclipse; if you prefer to use the different directory - resource/conf - provide the path to log4j2 configuration with JVM argument like this:

-Dlog4j.configurationFile=”conf/log4j2.xml”

Do not give up and switch back from logback to log4j2...
