How do you tell Spring Boot to send the embedded Tomcat's access logs to stdout?

Question

In a standalone Spring Boot web application (executable jar), how do you tell Spring Boot that we want the embedded Tomcat instance\'s HTTP access logs to be sent to stdout?

Answer 1

This did it for me on Spring Boot 2.x:

server.tomcat.accesslog.enabled=true
server.tomcat.accesslog.directory=/dev
server.tomcat.accesslog.prefix=stdout
server.tomcat.accesslog.buffered=false
server.tomcat.accesslog.suffix=""
server.tomcat.accesslog.file-date-format=""
