Answer 1

Here is your equivalent log4j2.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration>
    <Appenders>
        <RollingFile name="DEF" 
                     fileName   ="${sys:catalina.home}/webapps/myApp/logs/hasan.log" 
                     filePattern="${sys:catalina.home}/webapps/myApp/logs/hasan.log.%d{dd-MM-yyyy HH-mm-ss}">
            <PatternLayout pattern="%d{ISO8601} UTC [%25.25t] %-5p %25.25c %x - %m%n"/>
            <TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy modulate="true" />
        </RollingFile>
    </Appenders>
    <Loggers>
        <Root level="INFO" >
            <AppenderRef ref="DEF" />
        </Root>
    </Loggers>
</Configuration>
