Answer 1

This is an alternative way using .yaml

Logic Structure:

Configuration:
    Properties:
    Appenders:
    Loggers:

Sample:

Configutation:
    name: Default

    Properties:
        Property:
            name: log-path
            value: "logs"

    Appenders:

        Console:
        name: Console_Appender
        target: SYSTEM_OUT
        PatternLayout:
            pattern: "[%-5level] %d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %c{1} - %msg%n"

       File:
          name: File_Appender
          fileName: ${log-path}/logfile.log
          PatternLayout:
            pattern: "[%-5level] %d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %c{1} - %msg%n"

    Loggers:

        Root:
            level: debug
            AppenderRef:
              - ref: Console_Appender

        Logger:
            - name: ...<...>
              level: debug
              AppenderRef:
                 - ref: File_Appender
                 level: error
