How to configure rolling file appender within Spring Boot's application.yml

Question

Is is possible to configure a daily file appender within the application.yml of a Spring Boot application?

i.e. filenamePattern: myfile.%d{yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm-ss}.log

Answer 1

The default file appender is size based (10MB).

In your logback.xml just configure a TimeBasedRollingPolicy as described here

I.e. something like:

  

  
    ${LOG_FILE}
    

        
        ${LOG_FILE}.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log
