    Adding the Loupe Appender for Log4j2

    Add the following dependency to your pom.xml:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.onloupe</groupId>
        <artifactId>loupe-log4j2-support</artifactId>
        <version><-- desired version --></version>
    </dependency>
    

    Configuring Log4j2

    Adding Loupe to Log4j2 is done through the Log4j2 configuration file.  First, add the package path to the Loupe appender to the configuration route:

    <Configuration packages="com.onloupe.appenders.log4j">
    

    Next, add the appender to the appenders inventory:

    <LoupeLog4jAppender name="Loupe" />
    

    Finally, add the appender to any scope of your choosing.  A complete minimal example is:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!-- add the Loupe package path to the packages attribute -->
    <Configuration status="warn" packages="com.onloupe">
        <Appenders>
            <!-- Add Loupe to the appenders list -->
            <LoupeLog4jAppender name="LoupeAppender"/>
        </Appenders>
           <Loggers>
                  <Root level="all" additivity="false">
                        <!-- Add Loupe to one or more scopes -->
                        <AppenderRef ref="LoupeAppender" />
                  </Root>
           </Loggers>
    </Configuration>
