I have a maven and spring boot application which use logback.
This application is on some servers and the log files on this servers are stored only on this server.
Give it a tool/api which is free, can visualize the logs into a webpage and is easy to integrat with spring boot and maven?
I have try JAMon but it will not work with Spring boot (need to deploy a war file) because the spring boot application is a embedded application. Thanks for Help :)
Have a look on Kibana, search for ELK-Stack. You can easily run it using Docker. There is also a Maven lib for the logstash-forwarder.

Take a look at Spring Boot Cloud Config. It allows you to manage your config files centralized and has the ability to push new configurations to the connected applications.
I know spring boot applications can be deployed to production environments as war files. But what is the typical way of deploying spring boot applications? Does it only require a jvm, not a container?
The Spring Boot Project Page states that Spring Boot makes it easy to create stand-alone, production-grade Spring based Applications that you can "just run".
Means by default, the Spring Boot maven or gradle plugin builds self-contained executable jars, that contain all dependencies and an embedded webserver, e.g. tomcat or jetty. The Spring Boot Getting Started doc gives you an introduction to that. Using this approach you just need a JVM to run your application. But you can also configure it to create war files if this is a better fit to your production environment.
Does it only require a jvm, not a container?
It can run anywhere Java is setup.
Spring Boot's use of embedded containers and why Spring chose to go the container-less route. Many of their main driving forces were ease of use while testing and debugging, and being able to deploy Spring-based Java applications to the cloud, or any other environment.
Rest can be found out in attached image.
Spring boot applications if they are serving web requests do require a container. You can either deploy them as a war inside a container such as tomcat/jetty. Or you can deploy them with embedded container, tomcat.
I would like to evolve my Spring application with a better architecture. The technologies I'm using are : spring portfolio ( spring mvc, spring test, spring Web, spring core, spring rest...)
Today I'm using packaging to structure the different layers of my application: models, services, api and of course web where I have my controllers.
I would like to know how can I use the power of spring boot to make a multi module maven architecture with an xml spring configuration for a Web application. I read that spring boot have an embedded tomcat and since I'm using eclipse with a separate tomcat server I would like to deploy my application on it and I think that this can create a problem.
I already found some links on github with this type of projects most of them are not elaboring an architecture of a Web application and use a class for spring configuration with the embedded tomcat that spring boot offers.
Thank you
Ps: sorry for my bad English
What you mean by multi module. If you want to build your jar for multiple environment you can use maven profile for it. Spring boot is nothing but a spring project which ease the configurations for you.
Regarding deployment to your own server, you have to convert the jar to war. Read "What about the Java EE Application Server" section of below link.

My Spring Boot 1.3.2 Application is deployed as a WAR file into a standalone tomcat7. I am trying to activate the RemoteIPValve using server.use-forward-headers=true as described in the spring boot docs.
But the RemoteIPValve is not properly configured nor invoked when handling the request. Log says:
NonEmbeddedServletContainerFactory detected.
When I start the application using the maven plugin I get a:
Initializing Spring embedded WebApplicationContext
... and RemoteIPValve is working as expected. How can I accomplish the same using WAR File deployment?
When you deploy a Spring Boot application to standalone Tomcat, none of the embedded server configuration takes effect. Instead, you need to update your Tomcat installation's configuration to enable the valve. To use the valve in its default configuration, add the following to server.xml:
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteIpValve"/>
I have created an application as spring boot application,Now i want to integrate this application with wily,where i ll passed wily parameter in application to configure application.
The fact that it's a Spring Boot application shouldn't make any difference. If you're using an executable jar file, you'll need to configure the agent when you launch the jar, for example:
java -jar my-app.jar -javaagent:<Agent_Home>/Agent.jar -Dcom.wily.introscope.agentProfile=<Path_To_Agent_Profile>
If you're deploying your Spring Boot application as a war file to a servlet container or application server, you'll need to be make the equivalent configuration changes. The documentation describes how to configure Tomcat.
