Hi,

I have Elasticsearch v6.5 in Docker and would like to know whether there is some specific rule I need to set to configure the `log4j2.properties` file in order to see logs from classes of a custom plugin I have built and installed in `Dockerfile` and read with `docker-compose logs -f`.

Thanks,  
Regards
