Is there a way to store archived logback's .gz log files in a separate folder?

I want to store current log file in /logs folder, and all old archived .gz files in /logs/archive. Is there is a way to configure logback for it?

Solution

  • I guess you can add rolling policy to the appender :

    <appender name="MAIN" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
    <file>${LOG_DIR}/your-app-logs.log</file>
    <rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
        <!-- daily rollover -->
        <fileNamePattern>${LOG_GZ_DIR}/your-app-logs.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log.gz</fileNamePattern>
        <!-- keep 90 days' worth of history capped at 3GB total size -->
        <maxHistory>90</maxHistory>
    </rollingPolicy>
</appender>
