Log4j for Grid (Hub) Logs

[vsharma]

Hi Team,
I need to capture Grid (Selenium server logs) to analyze server log.
Using Log4j , eclipse ,testng at my end.
I did find the below
java -Dlog4j.configuration=log4j.properties -cp log4j-1.2.14.jar;selenium-server.jar org.openqa.selenium.server.SeleniumServer
Query

1. What goes in properties file

Any other approach, reference shall be useful.

@Aleksei any advise.

Why not redirect logs with java to some file like:

java -log /tmp/selenium-log ..... (here selenium-stadalone.jar)

[vsharma]

Thanks @Aleksei will try and revert
