log4j2 not creating a rolling

I had an application working with log4j1. The configuration I have in the log4j.properties is working fine and it creates the file for log.
I migrate to log4j2 and now the file is not created, even though I follow the documentation. I try all the different solutions here but I can't make it work.
This is my log4j2.xml inside resources in my application
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration status="info" name="MyApp" packages="">
<Appenders>
<RollingFile name="RollingFile" fileName="tmp/app.log"
filePattern="logs/$${date:yyyy-MM}/app-%d{MM-dd-yyyy}-%i.log.gz">

</Policies>
</RollingFile>
</Appenders>
<Loggers>
<Root level="info">
<AppenderRef ref="RollingFile"/>
</Root>
</Loggers>
This is the dependency in my pom.xml
<dependency>

</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j-api</artifactId>
<version>2.17.1</version>
</dependency>
I tired changing the path of my file with the full path, changing the folder in case it was permissions problem.
I don't have any error, but when the application runs I don't see any file.
I even print 2 versions of log4j; log4j and log4j2. Log4j creates the file no problem, log4j2 don't
this is my file for log4j
log4j.properties
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, Appender1,Appender2

I'm new to this, can anybody help me with this?
what am I'm missing?
let me know if you need more information.
edit: adding the whole pom file in case something is wrong with it:

You need to remove the 1.2.17 jar and add the log4j-api and log4j-core jars. It will solve the problem.

Receiving "No appender found" error for log4j2 when adding Pulsar appender

I'm working on a complex application that uses an Ignite version of log4j2. It works perfectly fine, but when I try to add a Pulsar appender it throws an error:
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.apache.pulsar.shade.io.netty.util.internal.logging.InternalLoggerFactory).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
log4j:WARN See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig for more info.
I can't really figure out why it's failing to find the log4j2.xml file because without the Pulsar appender it works fine, so it must be on the classpath. I'm guessing it must be a conflict with the ignite-log4j2 dependency and pulsar-log4j2-appender dependency.
This is what my pom.xml looks like:

The error message you are getting is coming from Log4J 1. This indicates Log4J 2 isn’t being used, which would explain why it can’t find the pulsar appender.
If you want to use Log4J 2 you need to re-examine your dependencies.
This also indicates it isn’t using your logging configuration.

You can define log path in the application.properties file, check the link below for example:
logging.level.com.example.springscheduler = debug
logging.level.org.springframework.web = WARN
logging.file.name =log/loggingdemocontroller.log
https://springbootmvc.blogspot.com/2020/06/spring-boot-logging-using-orgslf4jlogger.html

I found the problem where I had spring-boot-starter and spring-boot-starter-web dependencies. I excluded spring-boot-starter-logging dependency from only one of them which forced spring to use logback logger. And since logback logger doesn't pick up log4j2.xml for its configuration no files we getting created. So the pom.xml file was something like this;
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework.boot/spring-boot-starter -->
<dependency>

I needed to exclude spring-boot-starter-logging from spring-boot-starter dependency as well. Well, after all since I have spring-boot-starter-web I just deleted spring-boot-starter package which was needless.

Logback Kafka Appender Not Writing Logs to Topic

I have started a Kafka server on Windows with a separate Zookeeper. I have created a test topic as well.

Started a consumer on Windows with : kafka-console-consumer.bat --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --topic test --from-beginning
In my Java class all I have is a logger inside a method.

Spring : Logging not working with log4j or logback

I am working on a Spring-MVC application in which I am trying to get logging working again. Unfortunately, sometime back it just stopped working, I don't know what is causing that. I tried some suggestions on net, but nothing useful. Any suggestions?

What am I missing? Thank you.

You should avoid using log4j and logback in one application. If you have both jars in your classpath the classloader will pick either one of them (kind of random..)
That is indicated by this log statement:
SLF4J: Class path contains multiple SLF4J bindings.
If you intend to use logback you need to place the logback.xml file in the classpath of your application. From documentation:
logback will try to configure itself using the files logback-test.xml or logback.xml if found on the class path.
You can also check out this link: https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/howto-logging.html#howto-configure-logback-for-logging
Edit:
I guess you also need to add an appender to the console such as:
<appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
<!-- encoders are assigned the type
ch.qos.logback.classic.encoder.PatternLayoutEncoder by default -->
<encoder>
<pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%thread] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n</pattern>
</encoder>
and then add the appender to your logger:
<logger name="org.cometd" additivity="false">
<level value="DEBUG" />
<appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
</logger>
Best regards!

I had the same issue.
I had mixed both <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId> & <groupId>ch.qos.logback</groupId> dependencies together.
After I remove <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId> and keep only <groupId>ch.qos.logback</groupId> logs are started to written.
