This is the config for my log4j2.properties file,
name=PropertiesConfig
property.filename = /var/log/some/sqs
#appenders = console, file
appender.console.type = Console
appender.console.name = STDOUT
appender.console.layout.type = PatternLayout
appender.console.layout.pattern = [%-5level] %d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %c{1} - %msg%n
appender.file.type = File
appender.file.name = LOGFILE
appender.file.fileName=${filename}/sqs.log
appender.file.layout.type=PatternLayout
appender.file.layout.pattern=[%-5level] %d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %c{1} - %msg%n
#loggers=file
logger.file.name=com.mybatchservice
logger.file.level = debug, info
logger.file.appenderRefs = file
logger.file.appenderRef.file.ref = LOGFILE
rootLogger.level = debug
rootLogger.appenderRefs = stdout
rootLogger.appenderRef.stdout.ref = STDOUT
In the above I changed the logger.file.name=com.mybatchservice to the root folder of my package. com.mysomeservice.sd.sqs.sqs But its now throwing exception as follows :-

And on the 26 line I just have the lombok annotation @Slf4j, as can be seen below java code snippet.

The error you see suggests that you have a property that:
logger.,(see PropertiesConfigurationBuilder#build() line 174).
A minor (easily reproducible) bug in Log4j 2.17.1 causes the configuration to fail. You can workaround the bug by removing the property (which is useless anyway).
Edit: This bug was solved in version 2.17.2.
