Stackdriver - All logs are mapped as INFO - spring-boot

All my logs ERROR/WARNIN are mapped as INFO at Stackdriver.
I'm using logback and Im running my application in a Kubernetes cluster.
How can I setup my logback to Stackdriver?
Tks

The Stackdriver logging agent configuration for Kubernetes defaults to INFO for any logs written to the container's stdout and ERROR for logs written to stderr. If you want finer-grained control over severity, you can configure Spring to log as single-line JSON (e.g., via JsonLayout1) and let the logging agent pick up the severity from the JSON object (see https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/agent/configuration#process-payload).
1By default, JsonLayout will use "level" for the log level, while the Stackdriver logging agent recognizes "severity", so you may have to override addCustomDataToJsonMap.

Logback how to log json structure for splunk and default for app

I have a Spring Boot app with logback on kubernetes that structures the log in a json format with other metadata.
The log on the kubernetes pod is also in the same exact format.
Is it possible to have an appender that logs with default format on the kubernetes pod while continuing to log json format for splunk?

Is there any Elastic Search appender for directly sending(storing) spring-boot application logs to Elastic Search without using ELK stack

We are planning to store our (Spring-Boot) application logs to ElasticSearch. I am aware of ELK stack, which uses FileBeat + LogStash to collect and process the logs.
What is desired: Have an appender in logback.xml to directly send the logs to ElasticSearch. The very basic idea is of having an appender like File-Appenders with the difference of target for storing logs being ElasticSearch. At the same time, we want to do it in asynchronous manner. FYI, we are using slf4j with logback implementations for logging.
More specifically: We want to remove the intermediators:: Logstash or Beats as they will need more infra and may bring unwanted overhead. And having the process of sending logs to ElasticSearch in asynchronous way would be really great (so that application does not suffer latency due to logging).
What I have already tried:
Send Spring Boot logs directly to LogStash. But it seems of not much use, since it internally uses file appenders and the logs are then sent to LogStash.
Is there any such appenders available? Or maybe there is some workaround.

how disable 'attempting to receive mail from folder' spring integration mail in spring boot

i need to disable "attempting to receive mail from folder " log in spring integration.
Because it writes a lot of logs in catalina.out Tomcat and increases the file size.
See more info in the issue you have raised: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-integration/issues/3430.
This is not an INFO starting with Spring Integration version 5.4.
As a workaround you can just disable logging for the AbstractMailReceiver class making it on the, let's say, WARN level.
According your tags in the question, you probably use Spring Boot, so its configuration property for the logging may look like this:
logging.level.org.springframework.integration.mail.AbstractMailReceiver=warn
and you won't see that INFO message in logs any more.

Integration of fluentd with Java application

I am working on integrating spring boot application with fluentd.
When I use FluentdLogger in the application and source as forward in fluentd config file, I am able to log the entries to log file .
So How to provide log level to log statments in spring boot application, default is every statement is printed to file with tag.
Do I have to use in_tail with logging frameworks which will log to file and fluentd will tail from that file to another file.
OR there is way or appender in logback or logging frameworks in java.

turning off spring debug logs

I am using log4j for logging to console as well as file.Setting the threshold to INFO level doesn't prevents debug logs from spring.I have set rootlogger to INFO level as well.
I guess my spring logs are coming from my dependencies.M not able to get rid of them by setting level OFF for spring logs as well.Spring logs are using commons logging.How can I turn off these logs in my XML file?
