Re: Configuration element for system properties

Judging from the PropertiesUtil, it is indeed not a typo but an undocumented feature. I think we shouldn't have any undocumented features; created LOG4J2-3287 . A slightly related issue I have raised in 2019 was making constants a part of the conf

Re: Configuration element for system properties

It is not a typo. We may be missing documentation. I’ll have to search and see. Ralph > On Dec 20, 2021, at 1:18 PM, Gary Gregory wrote: > > Our page > https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/configuration.html#SystemProperties > documents log4j2.component.properties, but you talk about >
