logfile endpoint in Spring Boot

Question

I read Spring Boot Actuator documentation and saw logfile endpoint mentioned there which would really come in handy.

However this endpoint is not registered in my app and I have no idea how to make it available. What is needed here?

Answer 1

In order to enable this feature, one of these two params need to be set:

• logging.file.name
• logging.file.path

Logging configuration

After that the endpoint should be enabled by default.
