JHipster - Log Files

Tags:

jhipster

I have a JHipster application running and I would like to know where are the logs files. Where are they generated ? (It's a newbie question, but can't find anything)

I am on the "Dev" profile with the default configuration. (Didn't change anything regarding the application-dev.yml)

Thanks.

which is creating a spring.log file in the temp directory that rolls every 10MB.

Here is a version that may be more appropriate for production.

It enables the async file appender, and replaces the temp directory spring.log with debug, info (without trace or debug), and error (without info,trace,debug) log files in the catalina_base directory that roll each day.

It uses an easily-parsed splunk format, and column widths that are easy for humans to scan.

It includes columns that a simple Servlet Filter can use to add values to MDC for: IP=IP Address, S=Session Id, TX=Transaction Id, U=User Id. eg org.slf4j.MDC.put("TX", java.util.UUID.randomUUID().toString()); :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

The src/main/resources/logback.xml file contains the JHipster logging configuration. For reference, there is an additional src/test/resources/logback-test.xml file that is used when running the unit tests.

By default, JHipster logs only to the console. When running using the mvn spring-boot:run or gradlew bootRun (the default build targets), the only place your logs will appear is in the console window. However, if running inside a web container such as Tomcat, the web container might automatically save the logs to a container-specific location. For example, Tomcat saves all log messages printed to the console to [CATALINA_HOME]/logs/catalina.out.

If you wish to reconfigure your application to print logs to a file, you can do so by uncommenting and customizing the FILE appender declaration in the logback configuration file mentioned above and then adding a reference to the FILE appender to the root logger. Example:

...

<appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
    <rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
        <fileNamePattern>logFile.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log</fileNamePattern>
        <maxHistory>90</maxHistory>
    </rollingPolicy>
    <encoder>
        <charset>utf-8</charset>
        <Pattern>%d %-5level [%thread] %logger{0}: %msg%n</Pattern>
    </encoder>
</appender>

...

<root level="${logback.loglevel}">
    <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/> <!-- Optionally remove this -->
    <appender-ref ref="FILE"/> <!-- Add this -->
</root>

...

Ok,

So here the answer to this:

There is a xml file logback.xml that you can find in the resources directory.

Configuration for console:

<appender name="CONSOLE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
    <encoder>
        <charset>utf-8</charset>
        <Pattern>[%p] %c - %m%n</Pattern>
    </encoder>
</appender>

For a File

<appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
  ...
</appender>

Reference it at the end of the file

<root level="${logback.loglevel}">
    <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/> <!-- For Console Log -->
    <appender-ref ref="FILE"/> <!-- For File Log -->
</root>
