Hi

base log4j format is defined on ..../splunk/etc/system/default/props.conf

splunk btool props list log4j [--debug]

with --debug you could check if it's defined/modified some other app too.

You could found instructions how to configure it on java side and some examples e..g https://mkyong.com/logging/log4j-hello-world-example/
