The Spring Boot reference documentation 4.6. Custom Log Configuration states about the default system properties representing a default logging pattern to use on the console (only supported with the default Logback setup).
logging.pattern.console
CONSOLE_LOG_PATTERN
I guess the default log line look is familiar for all the Spring Boot framework users:
2020-08-04 12:00:00.000 INFO 24568 --- [ main] c.c.MyWonderfulSpringApplication : The following profiles are active: local
As long as I want to take look on how it looks and get inspired for defining my own one, where can I find this default value for a currently used version of Spring Boot?
I have just found out this configuration is available at the DefaultLogbackConfiguration
file under Spring Boot project:
private static final String CONSOLE_LOG_PATTERN = "%clr(%d{${LOG_DATEFORMAT_PATTERN:-yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS}}){faint} "
+ "%clr(${LOG_LEVEL_PATTERN:-%5p}) %clr(${PID:- }){magenta} %clr(---){faint} "
+ "%clr([%15.15t]){faint} %clr(%-40.40logger{39}){cyan} "
+ "%clr(:){faint} %m%n${LOG_EXCEPTION_CONVERSION_WORD:-%wEx}";
To find the pattern for a certain Spring Boot version, either:
Classes
tab for DefaultLogbackConfiguration
.The source of my findings is https://www.logicbig.com/tutorials/spring-framework/spring-boot/logging-console-pattern.html.
Edit: The default Logback console logger configuration (for example setting the logger to the DEBUG
level) can be overridden as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<include resource="org/springframework/boot/logging/logback/defaults.xml"/>
<include resource="org/springframework/boot/logging/logback/console-appender.xml" />
<root level="DEBUG">
<appender-ref ref="CONSOLE" />
</root>
</configuration>
