EAP - logging.properties

You may have noticed that there is a logging.properties file in the  below directory

$JBOSS_HOME/standalone/configuration     --> standalone mode

$JBOSS_HOME/domain/servers/<SERVER_NAME>/data    --> Domain Mode

This logging configuration is used when the server boots up until the logging subsystem kicks in. If the logging subsystem is not included in your configuration, then this would act as the logging configuration for the entire server.

In the future this file may go away or be automatically generated from the logging subsystem. For most users this file should not be modified.

Note: If the logging.properties is not available during start there will be no logging until the logging subsystems kicks in, this is also the case if the configuration is damaged, the server might exit without any further message.
