Log4j2.17.2 xml config file in a multithreaded environment throws errors when included routing tags

Question

Thanks for trying to help the question. I have been trying to upgrade the log4j from version 2.2.x to 2.17.2 for that I have included following starters, the spring boot version is 2.6.6 -

       <dependency>
           <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
           <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-logging</artifactId>
           <version>${spring.boot.version}</version>
       </dependency>
       <dependency>
           <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
           <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-log4j2</artifactId>
           <version>${spring.boot.version}</version>
       </dependency>
       <dependency>
           <groupId>com.lmax</groupId>
           <artifactId>disruptor</artifactId>
           <version>3.4.4</version>
       </dependency>

but when I include the routing tag as per my simplified (& partial) logging-config as below, it throws several runtime errors -

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    <property name="log-path" value="/path/" />

I apologize, if the question appears duplicate but I have searched all over the stackoverflow and internet and the apache documentation is so overwhelming, it seems to be correct as per the documentation. Thank you again for your help.

Edit - runtime errors thrown are for all the nodes in the logging-config.xml - java.lang.IllegalStateException: Logback configuration error detected: ERROR in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.spi.Interpreter@10:13 - no applicable action for [Appenders], current ElementPath is [[Configuration][Appenders]]

Edit2 - I tried following configuration example as it is from https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/configuration.html , still it throws those errors.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    </Console>

Edit3 - This is the resultant logging-config.xml I have now -
