Description

"Properties configuration files support the advertiser, monitorInterval, name, packages, shutdownHook, status, and verbose attrbutes." source: https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/configuration.html#Properties

But adding "monitorInterval=5" to log4j2.properties seems to have no effect. Changes to log4j2.properties do not change the configuration.

If I use log4j2.xml everything works fine.
