I'm trying to edit the log4j2 logging configuration for solr. The goal is to get a log file in json format. I configured the the JSONLayout for this purpose inside the rollingFile appender in the log4j2.xml. After this solr stops logging entirely. Solr.log file is empty. Only the solr-8983-console.log file contains 10 lines. The line "2018-09-06 13:22:25.378:INFO:oejs.Server:main: Started @2814ms" is the last one. My first guess was that the jackson-core and jackson-databind jars were missing, but that did not fix the problem.
As Varun said, jackson is already included in Solr. You won't need to add any jars for that.
Does anyone know where to find error-messages or exceptions that point me towards whats going wrong here?
Start Solr in the foreground, with the -f option. This will cause Solr to log to the console. When Solr is started in the background, it suppresses console logging.
I see that you have changed the logfile rollover size to 1MB. If your Solr server sees much traffic, this is going to result in an extremely fast rollover, which may mean that you lose access to logged events VERY quickly. This will especially be the case with JSON logging -- each event will take up a lot more space.
