Springboot to store logs in h2-DB: Logback configuration error detected - spring-boot

Question

I am trying to implement a POC which stores logs in Database(H2-Db) using Springboot. I have gone through some documents and finally I found a site with suitable details(https://medium.com/#chakrar27/storing-log-data-in-postgresql-using-logback-db-appender-292891a9918). I followed steps mentioned in that link but I am getting Logback configuration error detected error message. Below is complete error information.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: Logback configuration error detected:

I solved this problem by updating the logback.xml file and by creating table in H2-DB
logback.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<appender name="stdout" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
<!-- encoders are assigned the type ch.qos.logback.classic.encoder.PatternLayoutEncoder by default -->
<encoder>
<pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%thread] %-5level %logger{5} - %msg%n
</pattern>
</encoder>
</appender>
<appender name="db" class="ch.qos.logback.classic.db.DBAppender">
<connectionSource class="ch.qos.logback.core.db.DriverManagerConnectionSource">
<driverClass>org.h2.Driver</driverClass>
<url>jdbc:h2:mem:testdb</url>
<user>sa</user>
<password>password</password> <!-- no password -->
</connectionSource>
</appender>
<!-- the level of the root level is set to DEBUG by default. -->
<root level="INFO">
<appender-ref ref="stdout" />
<appender-ref ref="db" />
</root>
</configuration>
Table in H2-DB:
CREATE TABLE logging_event (
timestmp BIGINT NOT NULL,
formatted_message LONGVARCHAR NOT NULL,
logger_name VARCHAR(256) NOT NULL,
level_string VARCHAR(256) NOT NULL,
thread_name VARCHAR(256),
reference_flag SMALLINT,
arg0 VARCHAR(256),
arg1 VARCHAR(256),
arg2 VARCHAR(256),
arg3 VARCHAR(256),
caller_filename VARCHAR(256),
caller_class VARCHAR(256),
caller_method VARCHAR(256),
caller_line CHAR(4),
event_id IDENTITY NOT NULL);
