Spring Boot - no log file written (logging.file is not respected)

Question

I use Spring Boot and want it to write log output to a file.

According to the docs, this is simply done by setting

logging.file=filename.log
<         


        

Answer 1

I just used the Spring-boot provided logging mechanism. I wrote below in my 'logback.xml' file :

I put the both application.properties and logback.xml file under same package 'src/main/resources'. In application.properties file just added one parameter :

logging.file = xyz.log

It worked perfectly fine for me.
