Camel (Spring Boot) custom log - spring-boot

Question

Is there a way to log different routes in a single (human readable) log?
I need to log some routes in spring boot (using camel) in a txt file. These routes do some unmarshall/marshall stuff and i need to track that

Answer 1

Logback.xml is the easiest way to implement a human readable logger in springboot. It comes out of the box with Spring Boot and no configurations are required.
Create a logback.xml file in the resources folder and paste the following in it. You are set.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<property name="LOG_PATH" value="logs" />
<!--Console Appender-->
<appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
<encoder>
<pattern>
%d{dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss.SSS} %green([%thread]) %highlight(%-5level) %logger{36}.%M - %msg%n
</pattern>
</encoder>
</appender>
<!--Rolling File Appender-->
<appender name="File-Logger" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
<file>${LOG_PATH}/myLog.log</file>
<encoder class="ch.qos.logback.classic.encoder.PatternLayoutEncoder">
<Pattern>
%d{dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%thread] %-5level %logger{36}.%M - %msg%n
</Pattern>
</encoder>
<rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
<fileNamePattern>
${LOG_PATH}/archived/log_%d{dd-MM-yyyy}.%i.log
</fileNamePattern>
<timeBasedFileNamingAndTriggeringPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.SizeAndTimeBasedFNATP">
<maxFileSize>10MB</maxFileSize>
</timeBasedFileNamingAndTriggeringPolicy>
<maxHistory>60</maxHistory>
<totalSizeCap>1GB</totalSizeCap>
</rollingPolicy>
</appender>
<root level="info">
<appender-ref ref="STDOUT"/>
<appender-ref ref="File-Logger"/>
</root>
</configuration>
