Apache SkyWalking Component

Java Agent (apache/skywalking-java)

What happened

The server is using version 9.4.0, and the Java agent is using version 8.16.0. The Spring Boot project is using log4j2 as the logging framework. When the spring-boot-starter-data-redis is introduced, the logs can no longer be reported. The specific configuration is as follows:

What you expected to happen

I hope to start without any errors and logs can be reported normally.
