I'm attempting to programmatically override the levels of my log4j2 loggers on the fly, but it doesn't seem to be working. Can anyone point out what I might be doing wrong? This is the code that I am currently using to attempt to reset the levels.

 final static Level REQUEST = Level.forName("REQUEST", 450);
 errorLog.info("Showing Requests in logs");
 LoggerContext ctx = (LoggerContext) LogManager.getContext(false);
 Configuration config = ctx.getConfiguration();
 LoggerConfig loggerConfig = config.getLoggerConfig("console");
 loggerConfig.setLevel(REQUEST);
 LoggerConfig loggerConfigFile = config.getLoggerConfig("file-log");
 loggerConfigFile.setLevel(REQUEST);
 ctx.updateLoggers();

My configuration file is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration status="warn">
 <Properties>
 <Property name="log-path">logs</Property>
 </Properties>
 <Appenders>
 <RollingFile name="file-log" fileName="$log-path/DataAdapter.log"
 filePattern="$log-path/DataAdapter-%dyyyy-MM-dd.log">
 <PatternLayout>
 <pattern>[%-5level] %dMM-dd-yyyy HH:mm:ss [%t] %c1 - %msg%n</pattern>
 </PatternLayout>
 <Policies>
 <TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy interval="1" modulate="true"/>
 </Policies>
 </RollingFile>
 <Console name="console" target="SYSTEM_OUT">
 <PatternLayout pattern="[%-5level] %dMM-dd-yyyy HH:mm:ss %c1 - %msg%n"/>
 </Console>
 </Appenders>
 <Loggers>
 <Logger name="joy.com.DataAdapter" level="trace" additivity="false">
 <appender-ref ref="file-log" level="info"/>
 </Logger>
 <Root level="trace" additivity="false">
 <appender-ref ref="console" level="info"/>
 <appender-ref ref="file-log" level="info"/>
 </Root>
 </Loggers>
</Configuration>

I finally figured it out. Having the level="" in each appender-ref

 <Root level="trace" additivity="false">
 <appender-ref ref="console" level="info"/>
 <appender-ref ref="file-log" level="info"/>
 </Root>

was overriding my programmatic settings. Removing them allowed me to set the level from the code.

 <Root level="info" additivity="false">
 <appender-ref ref="console"/>
 <appender-ref ref="file-log"/>
 </Root>
