WalkthroughThe core module adds Log4j2 logging to active OpenTracing spans through a Spring-attached appender.

Suggested reviewers: Priority: ➖ Normal Change: Feature Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Resolve the logging defects before merging: asynchronous logging can omit span logs, FATAL events lack error tagging, and applications selecting a non-Core Log4j2 provider can fail startup when Core is also present. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to New log capture changes shared logging state without an explicit cleanup path. Incompatible logging-provider selection can also fail startup, while HTTP-client replacement has unverified transport-specific compatibility. These risks are conditional; no concrete credential bypass or cross-tenant disclosure was established. Retained concerns

Check the selected logging backend before casting.
When log4j-core is present but log4j-to-slf4j is the selected provider, LogManager.getContext(false) returns SLF4JLoggerContext. That class is not a Core LoggerContext. The classpath condition still passes, and this cast throws ClassCastException during Spring initialization. (logging.apache.org)
Skip this configuration when the selected context is not a Core LoggerContext.
Proposed fix
- LoggerContext context = (LoggerContext) LogManager.getContext(false);
+ org.apache.logging.log4j.spi.LoggerContext selectedContext = LogManager.getContext(false);
+ if (!(selectedContext instanceof LoggerContext)) {
+ return;
+ }
+ LoggerContext context = (LoggerContext) selectedContext;📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Record span logs before asynchronous logger dispatch.
When applications use AsyncLoggerContextSelector or AsyncRoot, Log4j2 invokes appenders on a background thread. With a thread-local scope manager, tracer.activeSpan() returns null there, even when the emitting request thread has an active span. The guard then discards the span log. (logging.apache.org)
Record the span log on the emitting thread before the asynchronous boundary. Add an integration test that emits through an asynchronous logger; direct append() calls do not exercise this path.

Include FATAL events in error tagging.
Level.FATAL is more severe than Level.ERROR, but this equality check excludes it. A fatal log therefore leaves the span without the error tag or error event marker. Use a severity comparison and test a FATAL event. (logging.apache.org)

Description
Problem
Span log collection currently uses a Logback-specific appender. Applications that exclude Logback and use Log4j2 can log normally, but their logs are not added to the active OpenTracing span.
