Integration of fluentd with Java application - spring

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.

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.

How to disable Atomikos logfile when running Spring Boot with Atomikos JTA

I am using Spring Boot with Atomikos with embeded undertow server.I will be running my application in docker as a executable jar.We are writing all our logs as Sysout basically we are flushing and not writing any log files.But Atomikos is creating 3 log files when start and run application under my working directory.
How to disable creation of this log files. We should not create any physical log files in Disk.
or
Is there any way I can make these logs will be written in console instead of creating physical file.
Tried below configuration but it's not working.
com:
atomikos:
icatch:
enable_logging=false
You should run with -Dcom.atomikos.icatch.enable_logging=false as Atomikos itself does not read your application.yml so it will not read properties from there. Spring doesn't set this property either. A bit warning though, right from Atomikos documentation:
Specifies if disk logging should be enabled or not. Defaults to true.
It is useful for JUnit testing, or to profile code without seeing the
transaction manager's activity as a hot spot but this should never be
disabled on production or data integrity cannot be guaranteed.
Transaction logs are as important as data as they're used to recover from failures.

Strange behavior with log4j2 configuration

I am working with spring cloud and log4j2 with "all" as level.
I will describe two situations with the same config file, I want to write on a Syslog TCP.
First test: I puth my log4j2 config file in resources folder, then, I start my app and start logging to the syslog.
But I need my configuration on a git, so I expose it to an url.
So here comes the second test:
I changed my bootstrap.yml and and the followind line:
logging: config:
http://xxx.xx.xx.75:3000/admin123/config-repository/raw/master/log4j2.xml
Then, I started my app and it starts to write the logging lines of spring boot in my syslog, but, when I put:
LOGGER.info("printing lalala");
Nothing is writed in the syslog and I can see a [FIN, ACK] beetween client and server on my TCP connections.
So, I understand that the config file is readed from the repository, becouse I can see it in my connections capture and becouse the app starts to log on syslog some lines, but something happend after that to close connection and write no more.
I can`t understand what is happening.
You must add the path of the logging.config on the application.yml not the bootstrap.yml and it works.
