IntelliJ: How to set log levels for tests - spring-boot

I have a problem with test console output in IntelliJ 2016.
When I run JUnit tests via IntelliJ, the console window is flooded with enormous amounts of log lines, for example
DEBUG reactor.ipc ....
DEBUG io.netty.buffer.ByteBufUtil ....
It's a simple Spring-Boot application which uses the default logging - I think it's slf4j.
I tried setting
logging.level.reactor.ipc=WARN
in my src/main/resources/application.properties and also setting
-Dlogging.level.root=WARN on the RunConfig's VM arguments, but neither has any effect on the log output.
What is the correct place to configure logging verbosity when executing Tests from Intellij?

You can fill up file named logback.xml in src/test/resources with sample content like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<appender name="CONSOLE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
<encoder>
<pattern>%d %5p | %t | %-55logger{55} | %m %n</pattern>
</encoder>
</appender>
<root>
<level value="TRACE"/>
<appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/>
</root>
</configuration>
to have TRACE logging level. You can change this log level to meet your needs.

Add datetime to log file name

I have some logs that I want to write to a file in a spring-boot microservice.
In my "application.yml" I have the below line which is working fine. But I also want to add date and time to the file name. How do I do that?
logging:
file: logs/${spring.application.name}.log
Ideally, I want the filename to be something like this:
logs/spring-boot-application_YYYY_MM_DD_HH_MM
A similar question has been answered here: How to include date in log file's name with Spring Boot / slf4j?
Basically if you want more control over the logging setup, you should have your own logback.xml under src/main/resources and configure the naming format similar to:
<FileNamePattern>LogFile.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log</FileNamePattern>
If you are using spring-boot , you could easily specify it in application.yml or application.properties and configuring logback xml to enable Rolling File Appender as :
spring:
logging:
file: logs/dev_app.log
pattern:
console: "%d %-5level %logger : %msg%n"
file: "%d %-5level [%thread] %logger : %msg%n"
level:
org.springframework.web: DEBUG
guru.springframework.controllers: DEBUG
org.hibernate: DEBUG
and specify the time based rolling policy for the file in :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<include resource="org/springframework/boot/logging/logback/base.xml"/>
<appender name="ROLLIN" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
<file>${LOG_FILE}</file>
<rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
<!-- daily rollover -->
<fileNamePattern>${LOG_FILE}.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log</fileNamePattern>
</rollingPolicy>
</appender>
<root level="INFO">
<appender-ref ref="ROLLIN" />
</root>
<logger name="org.springframework.web" level="INFO"/>
</configuration>

How to ignore logback RollingFileAppender FileNotFoundException

I am using logback in my spring boot project, but logback log file must locate in /home/xxx/logs folder.
spring boot cannot start caused by RollingFileAppender's FileNotFoundException exception in my MacOS machine, because of MacOS cannot create folder /home/xxx/logs.
How to ignore this Exception in my spring boot?
As much I know logging framework don't provide any exception handling capability. It's not their job. Either you Correct log location and syntax or just remove config which you don't need.
Include a file logback-spring.xml in your classpath or resources folder and then you will be able to explicitly configure the location of the log file or you may have it print to the console instead. The config below would do just that and override the default config that comes with spring boot.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
<encoder>
<pattern>%d{dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss.SSS} %magenta([%thread]) %highlight(%-5level) %logger{36}.%M - %msg%n</pattern>
</encoder>
</appender>
<root level="info">
<appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
</root>
</configuration>

Print only application logs

I want to print my logs of Spring Boot application, but I want to print my application logs in INFO. It is writing everything from server startup to stop.
I want to write logs in INFO, that I wrote into my application.
How to do it in Spring Boot?
Disable startup log messages by envoking .logStartupInfo(false) in your Application builder.
It should look like:
new SpringApplicationBuilder(ServiceConfiguration.class)
.logStartupInfo(false)
.run(args);
Please refer to this link for more clarity.
OR
Add logback.xml inside src/main/resources and the contents should be:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
<encoder>
<pattern>%d{dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss.SSS} %magenta([%thread]) %highlight(%-5level) %logger{36}.%M - %msg%n</pattern>
</encoder>
</appender>
<root level="off">
<appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
</root>
</configuration>

Spring - Exceptions do not log to a file

I'm currently using SLF4J API for logging.
Whenever an exception is thrown during runtime, the full error stack trace does not log to file, it is only printed to the console. I'm using eclipse.
Here is my code for logback.xml (currently located in classes folder under WEB-INF)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xml>
<configuration>
<!-- Specify here the path of the folder you want to save your logs -->
<property name="LOGFILE_PATH" value="C:/Logs" />
<!-- All logging will be redirected/ printed to console. -->
<appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
<layout class="ch.qos.logback.classic.PatternLayout">
<Pattern>%d{yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss a} [%thread] %-5level %logger{50} - %rEx %msg%n </Pattern>
</layout>
</appender>
<!-- Send log to file -->
<appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
<File>${LOGFILE_PATH}/spring-mybatis-log.log</File>
<layout class="ch.qos.logback.classic.PatternLayout">
<pattern>%d{yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss a} [%thread] %-5level %logger - %rEx %msg%n</pattern>
</layout>
<rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
<fileNamePattern>${LOGFILE_PATH}/spring-mybatis-log-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}-%i.txt
</fileNamePattern>
<timeBasedFileNamingAndTriggeringPolicy
class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.SizeAndTimeBasedFNATP">
<maxFileSize>2MB</maxFileSize>
</timeBasedFileNamingAndTriggeringPolicy>
</rollingPolicy>
</appender>
<root level="DEBUG">
<appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
<appender-ref ref="FILE" />
</root>
</configuration>
Is there something missing/wrong with the above file??
Is it possible to log (to a file) all the text that will be printed to console?
How does spring(or the project itself) read the logback.xml file? What if I rename it and place it in another folder?
How to create one root containing all the levels (INFO, DEBUG, ERROR, WARN, etc..) ?
To answer your questions:
Nothing looks obviously wrong to me in the file you've posted, although I didn't try actually running it.
Just the way you did it is fine, with two appenders, one that goes to the file and the other to go to the console.
Logback by default looks in the classpath for the logback.xml file. Refer to the configuration page of the manual for the details. The way it gets there depends on your build system. When using Maven, I'd suggest putting it in src/main/resources. But if it ends up in WEB-INF/classes when deployed in your web app, that should work. If no matter what you put in your logback.xml file you are only getting console output (try adding a syntax error or renaming the file to test), that's what I'd look at first, to ensure that Logback is picking up the file right. It will default to showing everything just on the console if it can't find the file, though I think it shows a warning at the beginning that it's doing so. If it is picking up the file, you can try putting debug="true" in the <configuration> element, to see if there's an error that it's picking up that's causing it to not use the appender the way you're expecting.
Specifying the "DEBUG" level of logging, as you've done, will also get all higher levels as well.
If the issue is that logging from Spring isn't going where you want, while your application's logging is working fine, you may need to redirect Spring (which uses Apache Commons Logging) to use SLF4J instead. To do that, remove the commons-logging dependency and add the jcl-over-slf4j library. This will emulate the commons-logging calls and have them point to SLF4J instead. See the "Using SLF4J" section of this blog post for more details.
Your configuration looks OK, but you can try use your root level INFO instead DEBUG and if you have frameworks like spring, hibernate etc. Logback allow you uses another levels to them something like:
<logger name="org.hibernate" level="OFF" />
<logger name="org.springframework" level="INFO" />
<logger name="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc" level="INFO" />

Springboot sending logs to fluentd not working

I need some help for the following problem.
I have a spring boot application and I would like to configure a fluentd appender using logback.
I've created a file called logback.xml in my src/main/resources with the following content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration debug="true">
<appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
<encoder>
<pattern>%date - %level - [%thread] - %logger - [%file:%line] - %msg%n</pattern>
</encoder>
</appender>
<appender name="FLUENT_TEXT" class="ch.qos.logback.more.appenders.DataFluentAppender">
<tag>dab</tag>
<label>normal</label>
<remoteHost>localhost</remoteHost>
<port>24224</port>
<maxQueueSize>20</maxQueueSize>
</appender>
<logger name="org.com" level="DEBUG"/>
<root level="DEBUG">
<appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
<appender-ref ref="FLUENT_TEXT" />
</root>
</configuration>
In my build.gradle I have :
compile 'org.fluentd:fluent-logger:0.3.1'
compile 'com.sndyuk:logback-more-appenders:1.1.0'
When I launch the app using gradle bootRun I have the following message:
10:56:33,020 |-WARN in ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender[STDOUT] - Attempted to append to non started appender [STDOUT].
10:56:33,020 |-WARN in ch.qos.logback.more.appenders.DataFluentAppender[FLUENT_TEXT] - Attempted to append to non started appender [FLUENT_TEXT].
10:56:33,028 |-WARN in ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender[STDOUT] - Attempted to append to non started appender [STDOUT].
Exception in thread "main" 10:56:33,028 |-WARN in ch.qos.logback.more.appenders.DataFluentAppender[FLUENT_TEXT] - Attempted to append to non started appender [FLUENT_TEXT].
java.lang.NullPointerException
at ch.qos.logback.more.appenders.DataFluentAppender$FluentDaemonAppender.close(DataFluentAppender.java:72)
I've found here https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/blob/master/spring-boot-docs/src/main/asciidoc/spring-boot-features.adoc something saying that logback.xml is loaded too early so I need to use a file called logback-spring.xml.
I've did it and it's like the file is never loaded, no error but nothing gets to my fluetd socket.
Any idea how to solve it ?
Thanks.

When running your springboot application, load a 'spring' profile.
One way of doing it would be via the command line, see below.
-Dspring.profiles.active=spring
