I'm migrating log4j 1.2.8 to log4j 2.3. Everything works fine, beside that I'm not finding any any alternative for the PropertyConfigurator.
Is there another class to take care of what the PropertyConfigurator did before?

Allows the configuration of log4j from an external file. See doConfigure(String, LoggerRepository) for the expected format. It is sometimes useful to see how log4j is reading configuration files.
You need at least the log4j-api-2. x and the log4j-core-2. x jar files. The other jars are necessary if your application calls the API of another logging framework and you want to route logging calls to the Log4j 2 implementation.
This concept is known as Logger Hierarchy. Logger Hierarchy is made up of set of LoggerConfig objects with a parent-child relationship. The topmost element in every Logger Hierarchy is the Root Logger. If Log4j2 doesn't find the configuration file, only Root Logger will be used for logging with logging level as ERROR.
Maybe this can help you?
How do I reconfigure log4j2 in code with a specific configuration file? See the below example. Be aware that this LoggerContext class is not part of the public API so your code may break with any minor release.
// import org.apache.logging.log4j.core.LoggerContext;
LoggerContext context = (org.apache.logging.log4j.core.LoggerContext) LogManager.getContext(false);
File file = new File("path/to/a/different/log4j2.xml");
// this will force a reconfiguration
context.setConfigLocation(file.toURI());**
