I am using Logback in my spring boot application.
The problem is logback do not print my logger messages in 'eclipse' console for my both 2 packages dao and web.
The log file is written without any problem , and print my logger messages.
I am the root so probably I should see my logger messages in my console.
Here is my logback.xml file :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<!-- Send debug messages to System.out -->
<appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
<!-- By default, encoders are assigned the type ch.qos.logback.classic.encoder.PatternLayoutEncoder -->
<encoder>
<pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%thread] %-5level %logger{5} - %msg%n</pattern>
</encoder>
</appender>
<!-- Send debug messages to a file at "C:/logs/Log.log" -->
<appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
<file>C:/logs/Log.log</file>
<encoder class="ch.qos.logback.classic.encoder.PatternLayoutEncoder">
<Pattern>%d{yyyy-MM-dd_HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%thread] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n</Pattern>
</encoder>
<rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.FixedWindowRollingPolicy">
<FileNamePattern>C:/logs/Log.%i.log.zip</FileNamePattern>
<MinIndex>1</MinIndex>
<MaxIndex>10</MaxIndex>
</rollingPolicy>
<triggeringPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy">
<MaxFileSize>10MB</MaxFileSize>
</triggeringPolicy>
</appender>
<logger name="package.web" level="INFO" >
<appender-ref ref="FILE" />
</logger>
<logger name="package.dao" level="DEBUG" >
<appender-ref ref="FILE" />
</logger>
<!-- By default, the level of the root level is set to DEBUG -->
<root level="DEBUG">
<appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
<appender-ref ref="FILE" />
</root>
</configuration>
<logger name="package.web" level="INFO" >
<appender-ref ref="FILE" />
</logger>
You need to add the console appender.
<logger name="package.web" level="INFO" >
<appender-ref ref="FILE" />
<appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
</logger>
UPDATE: I just reread the logback config doku. Actually, those two should inherit both appenders from root. So, what you can try is to not specify any appender-ref on those and see what happens. If no output is written to the file then, neither - then there is something pretty strange. I'd expect that behavior if the additivity flag was set to false. But the default is appender accumulation.
