We are running IIB 10 on AIX. Our developers are using log4j2 extensively. For example, logging before and after HTTP requests. We feel that these inline calls increase the chance of failure and also impact performance. We have flows that uses 15+ additional instances for throughput requirement. We think that MB event monitoring can do the kind of logging they need and like to see if that is a better option. We are looking for some experience if some one has dome the switch before ? or if there any paper on using monitoring vs Log4j2 for logging messages through the message flow.

Not done the switch, but we do logging (audit & BAM) using event messages because log4j sucks under load; the gismo reading the event messages uses javax.util.logging.

Never heard of log4j2 until someone mentioned it in here a while back, never used it, can't comment on it except that all Java is a dark magic which will one day destroy the world.

I personally also like the ability to add additional logging to flows by administratively adding a new monitoring profile to the flow rather than adding more code to the flow and going through the deployment process. Developers (Java and otherwise) consider this code-free logging witchcraft and have put in the request forms for enough wood to burn me at the stake. Having seen the operational budget for 2018 I'm confident I just need to continue to dodge the holy water occasionally thrown at me.
