when i run a small java client to insert some data i get this error

> "ERROR StatusLogger No log4j2 configuration file found. Using default configuration: logging only errors to the console.  
> "

I read questions here and did add a log4j2.xml into src/main/resources on my maven project and i still get the same error.

i also saw the elastic itself has a log4j.properties in the conf folder... why isnt it using this file?

what else can i do?

Thanks,

Unsure but here are some docs about what to do: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api/current/\_log4j\_2\_logger.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api/current/_log4j_2_logger.html)
