title: Log4j2 properties | monitorInterval not working
body: <p>I am using log4j 2.4 and trying to convert <code>log4j2.xml</code> to <code>log4j.properties</code>, however <code>monitorInterval property</code> doesn't seem to be working with log4j2.properties.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>status = trace</li>
  <li>name=PropertiesConfig</li>
  <li>property.filename = logs</li>
  <li>appenders = console, file</li>
  <li>monitorInterval=10</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>though <code>log4j2</code> following documentation 
  <a href="https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/configuration.html#Properties" rel="noreferrer">https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/configuration.html#Properties</a></p>
  
  <p>clearly stats that </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Properties configuration files support the advertiser,
    monitorInterval, name, packages, shutdownHook, status</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>any changes in property file doesn't leads to reloading of logging configuration. On the contrary, it seems to be perfectly working in <code>xml format</code></p>
  
  <p><code>&lt;Configuration status="TRACE" monitorInterval="5"&gt;</code></p>
  
  <p>where whenever I do make any changes in .xml my log4j configuration is picked up and is verified via following log.</p>

  <p>I also tried to upgrade Log4j version to 2.5 but still observe same behavior.</p>
