Read environment variables from logback configuration file

Question

I have this logback.xml file:

Answer 1

You perhaps mean MY_HOME. In your config file there is reference for OSC_HOME. See Variable substitution rules of Logback for details.

You can pass environment variable as a Java System property and then Logback will perform the variable substitution. You can pass this as JVM option in your command line. For example:

java -DMY_HOME=${MY_HOME} -cp ... MainClass

Or You can define MY_HOME in your config file itself.

  
  
    ${MY_HOME}/logs/mylog.log
