How can I integrate Spring Cloud with logback?

Question

I have two Spring Boot applications:

1. cloud-config

   It has following file structure:

   └───src
       └───main
           └───environment
               └───default
                   ├───application.yml
                   └───bootstrap.yml
   ...
   

   application.yml:

   server:
     port: 8087
   
   spring:
     cloud:
       config:
         server:
           git:
             uri: ssh://path-to-repository.git
   

   bootstrap.yml:

   spring:
     application:
       name: cloud-config  
   

2. main-application:

   └───src
       └───main
           └───environment
               └───default
                   ├───bootstrap.yml
                   └───logback.xml
   

   I have application.yml for my main-application in git repository.

Also in git repository I have file with properties: application-default.properties.

I want to move logback.xml to git repository to get it with spring-cloud. How can I do this?

Answer 1

To solve my task I have done following:

1. add logback.xml to my Spring Cloud repository;

2. remove logback.xml from main > environment > default directory;

3. add to bootstrap.yml of main-application module:

   logging:
       config: http://localhost:8087/main-application/default/master/logback.xml
