This is a set of examples of logback sample files used for customizing your logging configuration. The logback logging system is used by Spring Boot.

logbackAdmin.xml

For enabling the audit events and logging only the administrative events:

<configuration>
  <include resource="org/springframework/boot/logging/logback/defaults.xml"/>
  <include resource="org/springframework/boot/logging/logback/console-appender.xml"/>
  <property name="ADMIN_LOG_FILE" value="./logs/caq-admin-event.log"/>

  <appender name="ADMIN_FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
    <encoder>
      <pattern>${FILE_LOG_PATTERN}</pattern>
      <charset>${FILE_LOG_CHARSET}</charset>
    </encoder>
    <file>${ADMIN_LOG_FILE}</file>
    <rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.SizeAndTimeBasedRollingPolicy">
      <fileNamePattern>${LOGBACK_ROLLINGPOLICY_FILE_NAME_PATTERN:-${ADMIN_LOG_FILE}.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.%i.log.gz}</fileNamePattern>
      <cleanHistoryOnStart>${LOGBACK_ROLLINGPOLICY_CLEAN_HISTORY_ON_START:-false}</cleanHistoryOnStart>
      <maxFileSize>${LOGBACK_ROLLINGPOLICY_MAX_FILE_SIZE:-10MB}</maxFileSize>

      <maxHistory>${LOGBACK_ROLLINGPOLICY_MAX_HISTORY:-7}</maxHistory>
    </rollingPolicy>
