Replace log4j files

Additional steps to be taken after upgrading to 6049

You will have to replace the latest log4j files in the server where Recovery ManagerPlus is installed and the remote repositories. The service pack upgrade would accomplish this in most cases, but in some cases, manual intervention is necessary.

To check if the files are replaced, Please follow the additional steps listed here after upgrading to 6049:

  1. Replace the Log4j files in the Recovery ManagerPlus server
    • Navigate to <install_dir>\ES\lib, and check if the following files are present:
      • log4j-1.2-api-2.11.1.jar
      • log4j-api-2.11.1.jar
      • log4j-core-2.11.1.jar
      • log4j-1.2-api-2.16.0.jar

    • Navigate to <install_dir>\ES\plugins\search-guard-6, and check if there are files named log4j-slf4j-impl-2.11.1.jar, log4j-slf4j-impl-2.16.0.jar, and log4j-slf4j-impl-2.17.0.jar.
