https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/plug-ins/5393/write-plugin-logs-to-custom-fileFor a custom plugin file, I need to write logs to a separate log file and not to the application-server.log /server.log. In my appian_log4j.properties file I have made the following entries: #### custom log entry log4j.logger.com.&lt;mypackage&gt;=DEBUG,CUSTOM_LOGen-USTelligent Community 12https://community.appian.com/thread/20285?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 15 Jul 2015 14:46:20 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:1aeea06b-fb59-4799-8af2-9e7c0f5fc610Eduardo FuentesYou need to update the one under runtime_ear and wait 5 mns at least to see it working. If not then restart the App server, usually not required.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.appian.com/thread/20283?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 15 Jul 2015 14:40:57 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:a225ba1c-8dd8-4057-98a4-e4ea5dda288bdeeptipIf I update the one under &quot;runtime_ear/suite.ear/resources&quot;, should the server be restarted to take effect?<br /><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.appian.com/thread/20281?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 15 Jul 2015 14:33:39 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:2dc339da-17f5-486e-8199-8c2b7ca017bddeeptipThanks for the reply.

Works for me. See attached example<br />2. Maybe you&#39;re not updating the right appian_log4j.properties (e.g. ear vs runtime_ear)<br /><br /><br /><br /><p><a href="/cfs-filesystemfile/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/19/example_5F00_custom_5F00_logging.png"><img src="/cfs-filesystemfile/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/19/example_5F00_custom_5F00_logging.png" alt=" " /></a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
