Logging system failed to initialize using configuration from ‘null’

Query- Logging System Failed to Initialize

When you encounter the error message “Logging system failed to initialize using configuration from ‘null'”, it indicates that there is an issue with the logging configuration for your application.

Possible Causes

• Missing Configuration File: The logging system might not be able to locate or access the required configuration file.
• Incorrect Configuration File: The logging configuration file may contain errors or invalid settings.
• Invalid Configuration Path: The path to the logging configuration file may be incorrect or null.

Solution

To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:

1. Check if the logging configuration file exists in the expected location.
2. If the logging configuration file is missing, create a new one.
3. Make sure that the configuration file is correctly formatted, adhering to the syntax specified by the logging framework you are using (e.g., Log4j, Logback, etc.).
4. Verify that the path to the configuration file is correctly specified in your application’s code or configuration.
5. Ensure that the application has sufficient permissions to access the logging configuration file.
6. If you are using a framework or library that supports multiple logging providers, double-check that you have configured the appropriate provider.

Example: Log4j Configuration

Here is an example of a basic Log4j XML configuration file:

    
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration PUBLIC "-//APACHE//DTD LOG4J 1.2//EN" "http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/apidocs/org/apache/log4j/xml/doc-files/log4j.dtd">
<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/">
  
  <appender name="console" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">
    <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
      <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%-5p %c{1} - %m%n"/>
    </layout>
  </appender>
  
  <root>
    <priority value="DEBUG"/>
    <appender-ref ref="console"/>
  </root>
  
</log4j:configuration>
    
  

In the above example, the logging configuration sets the root logger’s priority to DEBUG and uses a console appender with a PatternLayout to define the log message format.

Ensure that you adjust the configuration file according to your application’s requirements and logging framework.
