| Even moderately sized applications can contain thousands of logging statements. |
| To decide which of these statements will be logged and where, users need to configure Log4j Core in one of following ways: |
| |
| * Through a xref:manual/configuration.adoc[configuration file] |
| * Through xref:manual/customconfig.adoc[programmatic configuration] |
| |
| Some meta-configuration options (e.g., the configuration file location) are only available through xref:manual/systemproperties.adoc[system properties]. |
