Hi people,

I'm trying to wire elasticsearch logging with sentry error management.  
Sentry is providing jar libs ([GitHub - getsentry/sentry-java: A Sentry SDK for Java, Android and other JVM languages.](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-java)) which give new appender called sentry which will send events to sentry backend.

Note that I also created an issue on sentry side to clarify some of my questionning on the lib requirements and usage ([Implement sentry with elasticsearch 6.2 · Issue #827 · getsentry/sentry-java · GitHub](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-java/issues/827)).

I just added libs in elasticsearch lib folder, and declared sentry appender and bind it to rootLogger as below

> appender.sentry.type = Sentry  
> appender.sentry.name = sentry  
> rootLogger.level = info  
> rootLogger.appenderRef.sentry.ref = sentry

If I let log level of rootLogger to info, I don't see any event sent to sentry and so I'm assuming no log is sent to sentry appender  
If I set log level of rootLogger to all, I can see some early stage ES boot logs like below but nothing after some seconds.  
If I set any level other than all on rootLogger I see nothing on sentry side and still assuming nothing is sent to appender.

Did anybody already successfully wire ES with sentry ?

Also I can see sentry has slf4j as a dependency and was wondering if I was missing something with confs and bindings between log4j2 and slf4j maybe...
