I am developing an application connecting to Elasticsearch with the java API.  
I am using lo4j2 to deal with logging.

I want to retrieve the messages logged by the java API, but I don't know how to configure to it.

Does anyone has any idea how to do

Version of the java API: 1.4.5  
From my pom.xml:

> ```
> <dependency>
> <groupId>org.elasticsearch</groupId>
> <artifactId>elasticsearch</artifactId>
> <version>1.4.5</version>
> </dependency>
> 
> ```
