What I want to do is use a -D on the command line instead of editing the status attribute in an XML configuration file. The docs for log4j2.defaultStatusLevel and log4j2.statusLoggerLevel are very confusing IMO. I suppose I'll have to try both. Can these docs be improved with an intro sentence for each saying "To do X, use Y"?
