Description

The vast majority of StackOverflow Log4j 2 questions is related to configuration. The Log4j 2 site offers an extensive manual but apparently many questions remain.

This ticket aims to make Log4j 2 easier to configure and use. This can take many forms:

• detecting and addressing inconsistencies
• facilitating debugging
• showing richer error messages that help users diagnose problems
• adding documentation
• making documentation easier to find
• ... etc

I am making this an epic so the effort can span multiple releases and include many big or small changes.
