Spring boot: Log file has get requests to static files - spring

Question

I have configured my app using
#Configuration
#EnableWebSecurity
#Slf4j
public class WebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {...}
Inside configure method, allowed the static content.
http .httpBasic().and()
.csrf().disable()
.authorizeRequests()
.antMatchers("/**/*.js", "/resources/static/**", "/static/**", "/**/*.jpg", "/**/*.svg", "/**/*.ico", "/**/*.gif", "/**/*.css", "/register")
.permitAll()
application.properties :
logging.level.web=debug
logging.level.org.springframework.web=debug
The problem i am having is that my log file is crowded by get requests to the static resources
I am just interested in logging access to controllers and not static files.
Is there something i need to configure to exclude the logging of access to static resources?
I have also tried
#Configuration
public class StaticConfig implements WebMvcConfigurer {
#Override
public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
if (!registry.hasMappingForPattern("/static/**")) {
registry.addResourceHandler("/static/**")
.addResourceLocations("/static/");
}
}
}

Issue
You have enabled debug level logging for org.springframework.web package, so it will log everything
Try this solution
Remove the debug level logging for org.springframework.web
Create a subclass of CommonsRequestLoggingFilter
public class CustomRequestLoggingFilter extends CommonsRequestLoggingFilter {
#Override
protected boolean shouldLog(HttpServletRequest request) {
return logger.isDebugEnabled() &&
!request.getRequestURL().toString().contains("/static")
}
}
Create that filter as a bean
#Configuration
public class RequestLoggingFilterConfig {
#Bean
public CustomRequestLoggingFilter logFilter() {
CustomRequestLoggingFilter filter
= new CustomRequestLoggingFilter();
filter.setIncludeQueryString(true);
filter.setIncludePayload(false);
filter.setMaxPayloadLength(10000);
filter.setIncludeHeaders(false);
filter.setAfterMessagePrefix("REQUEST DATA : ");
return filter;
}
}
Add the following to application.properties
logging.level.<package of your filter>.CustomRequestLoggingFilter=DEBUG
