Logging Configuration

NOTE: In application versions that use older version of Grails (Prior to Valsight Version 6) the configuration of logback was done using a logback.groovy file. This is no longer possible and configuration must be done through an XML file named logback-spring xml.

External Configuration File

You can instruct Valsights Logback component to use an external configuration file with a system property:

$ ./gradlew -Dlogging.config=/Users/me/config/logback-spring.xml bootRun

In our distribution folder you can simply add the system property to one of the following files, depends on your environment:

• Windows

  • windowsservice/valsightservice.xml: simply add the property to the tag <arguments></arguments>

  • bin/valsight-server.bat: Add the property to the already declared variable DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS

• Unix

  • bin/valsight-server: Add the property to the already declared variable DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS

Example logback-spring.xml configuration files:
