Log4j2 in a Unix environment

I have made a project in which I am creating logs with log4j2.xml. My configuration file works perfectly when I am running it in the eclipse of my windows system. Here is the configuration file which I have used to create the log files.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?><Configuration status="WARN">
    <Properties>
        <Property name="log-path">/home/apps/ora_fin/IGL75D/Disco/splunk/log</Property>
    </Properties>
    <Appenders>
        <RollingFile fileName="${log-path}/SplunkOADC.log" filePattern="${log-path}/SplunkOADC-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log" name="info-log">
        <Filters>
            <ThresholdFilter level="warn" onMatch="DENY" onMismatch="NEUTRAL"/>
            <ThresholdFilter level="error" onMatch="DENY" onMismatch="NEUTRAL"/>
            <ThresholdFilter level="fatal" onMatch="DENY" onMismatch="NEUTRAL"/>
            <ThresholdFilter level="INFO" onMatch="ACCEPT" onMismatch="DENY"/>
        </Filters>
            <PatternLayout>
                <pattern> %d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} - %msg%n
                </pattern>
            </PatternLayout>
            <Policies>
                <TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy interval="1" modulate="true"/>
            </Policies>

        </RollingFile>

        <RollingFile fileName="${log-path}/SplunkOADC-trace.log" filePattern="${log-path}/SplunkOADC-trace-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log" name="trace-log">

            <Filters>
            <ThresholdFilter level="info" onMatch="DENY" onMismatch="NEUTRAL"/>

            <ThresholdFilter level="fatal" onMatch="ACCEPT" onMismatch="NEUTRAL"/>
            <ThresholdFilter level="TRACE" onMatch="ACCEPT" onMismatch="DENY"/>
             <ThresholdFilter level="ERROR" onMatch="ACCEPT" onMismatch="DENY"/>
             <ThresholdFilter level="DEBUG" onMatch="ACCEPT" onMismatch="DENY"/>
             <ThresholdFilter level="FATAL" onMatch="ACCEPT" onMismatch="DENY"/>
        </Filters>

            <PatternLayout>
                <pattern>[%-5level] %d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %c{1} - %msg%n
                </pattern>
            </PatternLayout>
            <Policies>

                    <SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="1 MB"/>
            </Policies>
        </RollingFile>
    </Appenders>
    <Loggers>
        <Logger level="all" name="com.aviva.uk.gi.NUProcessOSBReportDataParserPkg">
            <AppenderRef ref="info-log"/>
            <AppenderRef ref="trace-log"/>
        </Logger>
        <Root>
        </Root>
    </Loggers>
</Configuration>

This configuration file I have put under the src folder in my project and is picked up without any issues. However I need to deploy the application in the Unix environment, where should I put the configuration file in unix environment so that it is picked up by the java class to log ??

Thanks!
