Log4j2 using properties only logging to console and not to rolling file - log4j2

Question

I have old application that uses SLF4J with Log4J-1.2-17.jar. I am upgrading it to use Log4J 2.17 version. The code was updated to use newer packages however properties file seems to output to console only and NOT to my rolling log file. What is wrong with my log4j2.properties file?
