Log4j2 Logging in Selenium

Log4j2 Setup with Log4j2.properties & Log4j2.xml

Step 1: Add Maven Log4j2 Dependencies

<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j-api</artifactId>
<version>2.23.1</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j-core</artifactId>
<version>2.23.1</version>
</dependency>

Step 2: Creating Logger instance in Class

To start logging messages using this basic configuration, all you need to
just obtain a Logger instance using the LogManager class:

private static Logger logger =

LogManager.getLogger(YourClass.class);

YourClass = Give name of your respective class

Then you can use the logger object with methods corresponding to the log
level you want:

logger.error("This is an error message");

logger.info("This is an info message");
logger.debug("This is an debugging message");

For log level info :

Note: Use this in the class you want to add log like base.class,
extentManager.class etc .

Step 3: Customizing logging by adding

Log4j2.properties or Log4j2.xml

Create a log4j2.properties or log4j2.xml file in the resources folder as

shown (recommended).
Note: You can create it anywhere you want, but src/resources is
recommended.

Folder structure:

Using Log4j2.properties

status = warn
name=PropertiesConfig
property.filename = logs

#Set up apprenders for file & console

appenders = console, file ,htmlFile

# Set up for Console log output

appender.console.type = Console
appender.console.name = STDOUT
appender.console.layout.type = PatternLayout
appender.console.layout.pattern = [%-5level] %d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} [%t] %c{1} - %msg%n

# Set up for LOGFILE log output

appender.file.type = File
appender.file.name = LOGFILE
appender.file.fileName=${filename}/automationLogs_${date:yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm-ss}.log
appender.file.layout.type=PatternLayout
appender.file.layout.pattern=[%-5level] %d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} [%t] %c{1} - %msg%n

# Set up for HTML log output

appender.htmlFile.type = File
appender.htmlFile.name = HTMLFILE
appender.htmlFile.fileName=${filename}/automationLogs_${date:yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm-ss}.html
appender.htmlFile.layout.type=HTMLLayout
appender.htmlFile.layout.datepattern=yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss
appender.htmlFile.layout.timezone=GMT+0
appender.htmlFile.layout.LocationInfo=true

# Level of Logs
rootLogger.level = info
rootLogger.appenderRefs = file
rootLogger.appenderRef.stdout.ref = STDOUT
rootLogger.appenderRef.logfile.ref = LOGFILE
rootLogger.appenderRef.htmlfile.ref = HTMLFILE

Using Log4j2.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<Configuration status="WARN">
