Watch any log config file and automatically apply log config each time the file is modified, without the requirement of any restart of anything.

Liferay versions 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4 are supported (both for CE and DXP).

Get the log-config-auto-reloader.jar file from the release page and just drop it into your $LIFERAY_HOME/deploy directory.

Go to Control Panel > System Settings > Infrastructure > Log Config Auto Reloader and edit the configuration.

Configuration parameters are:

• Watch log levels properties file (yes/no)
• Log levels properties file path (file system path)
• Create log levels properties file if not exist (yes/no)
• Watch Log4j XML file (yes/no)
• Log4j XML file path (file system path)
• Create Log4j XML file if not exist (yes/no)

Don't forget to submit the configuration form.

Alternatively, you can just the drop this configuration file (usual config for local developement) into your $LIFERAY_HOME/osgi/deploy directory.
