Environment

Release : 23.2

Cause

using older version of InterscopeAgent profile from previous version

had these settings that were ported forward from older profile..
log4j.additivity.IntroscopeAgent=false
log4j.appender.console=com.wily.org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.console.layout=com.wily.org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.console.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{M/dd/yy hh:mm:ss a z} [%-3p] [%c] %m%n
log4j.appender.console.target=System.err
log4j.appender.logfile=com.wily.introscope.agent.AutoNamingRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.logfile.layout=com.wily.org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.logfile.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{M/dd/yy hh:mm:ss a z} [%-3p] [%c] %m%n
log4j.appender.logfile.MaxBackupIndex=4
log4j.appender.logfile.MaxFileSize=2MB
see these commented out in the new version.

Resolution

switched to latest logback mechanism and it worked.
