Access ActiveMQ Jetty logs with Java service wrapper

Question

I have ActiveMQ returning a 503 for certain endpoints in the UI. However, none of the Jetty logs are being displayed in the console.

I'm using a Java service wrapper to run ActiveMQ. It seems to be completely ignoring the Log4j config, but I am not sure why.

My wrapper config is:

# wrapper.debug=TRUE
set.default.ACTIVEMQ_HOME=../..
set.default.ACTIVEMQ_BASE=../..
set.default.ACTIVEMQ_CONF=%ACTIVEMQ_BASE%/conf
set.default.ACTIVEMQ_DATA=%ACTIVEMQ_BASE%/data
wrapper.working.dir=.

The console output is just the JVM status. It doesn't show any of the access logs from Jetty in the UI. This is just running on localhost. For now the port is the standard 8161.

Is there a way to append the Jetty logs to this console output?

Tried editing log4j.properties, logging.properties by adding wrapper.java.additional.8=-Dlog4j.configuration.file="%ACTIVEMQ_CONF%/log4j.properties".

Managed to get this working; created the filejetty-logging.properties with the following config:

org.eclipse.jetty.util.log.class=org.eclipse.jetty.util.log.StdOutLog
org.eclipse.jetty.LEVEL=INFO
