I have a log4j2.XML as below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration status="WARN">
    <Appenders>
        <Console name="ConsoleAppender" target="SYSTEM_OUT">
            <PatternLayout pattern="%date %-5level %logger - %msg"/>
        </Console>

        <Kafka name="KafkaAppender" topic="cdf-databricks-log">
            <JsonTemplateLayout eventTemplateUri="classpath:JsonLayout.json">
                <EventTemplateAdditionalField key="info" format="JSON" value='{"$resolver": "map"}' />
            </JsonTemplateLayout>
            <Property name="bootstrap.servers">${env:KAFKA_HOST}:${env:KAFKA_PORT}</Property>
            <Property name="security.protocol">SASL_SSL</Property>
            <Property name="sasl.mechanism">PLAIN</Property>
            <Property name="sasl.jaas.config">org.apache.kafka.common.security.plain.PlainLoginModule required  username="${env:KAFKA_USER}" password="${env:KAFKA_PASSWD}";</Property>
        </Kafka>
        <Async name="AsyncAppender">
            <AppenderRef ref="KafkaAppender"/>
        </Async>
    </Appenders>
    <Loggers>
        <Root>
            <AppenderRef ref="ConsoleAppender" level="ALL"/>
            <AppenderRef ref="KafkaAppender" level="INFO"/>
        </Root>
        <!-- Do not let org.apache.kafka log to a Kafka appender on DEBUG level. That will cause recursive logging -->
        <Logger name="org.apache.kafka" level="WARN" />
    </Loggers>
</Configuration>

I want all the logs to be directed to Console an only the INFO logs to be directed to Kafka.
When I use the application, I do not see the logs being written to the console.

I have found that writing dedicated logger nodes based on class/ package name like below works. But I have a requirement to make this Log4j2.xml a reusable component and that’s why I do not want an individual class name present here.

        <Logger name="com.abc.xxx.Someclassname" level="INFO" additivity="false">
            <AppenderRef ref="ConsoleAppender"/>
            <AppenderRef ref="KafkaAppender"/>
        </Logger

Any suggestions where I am going wrong in the first log4j2.xml?
