For older version of qaf (below 3.1.0) there is log4j1.x dependency from framework. There may be other logging libraries taking control of logging instead of log4j. You should try to find out which logging implementation takes control and configure accordingly. Check similar questions in users group and stack overflow

• QAF | Switch off logging to console
• disable INFO com.qmetry.qaf.automation.ui.WebDriverCommandLogger loging

From qaf version 3.1.0, qaf doesn't include log4j dependency. User need to choose/add logging framework of their choice ( for example log4j, log4j2, slf4j, Logback etc.) and configure logging as per logging framework used. Refer release-notes
