<p>In Liferay 6.2, when a portlet project plugin was created, it was
given a log4j.properties file you could overwrite to customize your
log traces. Nowadays, in Liferay 7.4, when a Liferay module project is
created, two log related log4j properties files can be found within
that module:</p>
<p>1) /src/main/resources/log4j.properties</p>
<p>2) /src/main/webapp/META-INF/module-log4j-ext.xml</p>
<p>According to the official Liferay documentation (<a
href="https://help.liferay.com/hc/es/articles/360017883572-Adjusting-Module-Logging">Adjusting
Module Logging</a>), you have to set up module-log4j-ext.xml file.
My question is, firstly, what the log4j.properties file is intended
for; and secondly, weather it is possible or not keeping on using
log4j.properties file to customize the log traces as it used to be for
Liferay 6.2.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
