James Perkins commented on LOGMGR-205:
--------------------------------------

We could just use the {{logging.properties}} to configure logging for the cloud. However we'd lose some things like per-deployment logging and logging profiles.

The ConfigMap sounds interesting though. I don't know much about that, but OT for this it would be interesting if possible to have a ConfigMap to CLI type of thing. However that doesn't really make the configuration immutable.

More of a WildFly thing, but one thing I've thought of too is not using the XML config file for the logging configuration. Essentially the model would be based on a {{logging.properties}} rather than the XML. There are some issues with system properties, paths, etc. that make this not quite work right however. The ability to listen to a file for changes would allow either a management interface or editing the raw file to work though. Though like I said working around the paths ({{relative-to}}) and system properties is a problem.

> It could be useful to add a utility to watch a {{logging.properties}} file for changes and reconfigure the log manager based on these changes.
> As a test I've created an [example|https://gist.github.com/jamezp/68cd45982ba2b75aa2e95465695ec061] which could use some better options for removing no longer used configured objects.
