After an upgrade, new logging properties are written to the file /opt/vmware/vcloud-
director/etc/log4j.properties.rpmnew.
Option Action
If you did not change existing
logging properties
Copy this file to /opt/vmware/vcloud-
director/etc/log4j.properties.
If you changed logging properties
Merge /opt/vmware/vcloud-
director/etc/log4j.properties.rpmnew file with the
existing /opt/vmware/vcloud-director/etc/log4j.properties.

software vendor recommends.
