Yes definitely. I will remove the log4j.properties that is bundled with
DHIS 2, however you can of course include you own inside tomcat which
allows system admins to configure logging according to their preferences.
The new solution is aimed at providing a sensible out-of-the-box setup to
avoid running out of disk space, easily finding analytics table issues, etc.

No everything generated by DHIS 2 including exceptions go into the main
dhis.log file. We should of course aim at fixing the cause of these errors.
