Hi @derrickthomasvdot,

did you set properly the logger and the appender on log4j file? and did you reload the log configuration?

Hi @derrickthomasvdot,

Insert the following entry into the log4j2.properties configuration file to enable the desired logging behavior. After updating the file, reload the logging configuration to apply the changes.

logger.Customrule.name=vdot.rule.idattr
logger.Customrule.level=trace

import org.apache.logging.log4j.core.config.Configurator;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.Level;

// Rule or Class level
Configurator.setLevel("com.example.Foo", Level.DEBUG);

// You can also set the root logger:
Configurator.setRootLevel(Level.DEBUG);
