About article "Logging in Spring Boot"

[TusharGirase]

In this article Topic 4 says we can set any of the files as below
logback-spring.xml
logback.xml
logback-spring.groovy
logback.groovy

But in the source code logback-spring.xml is missing

@Override protected String[] getStandardConfigLocations() { return new String[] { "logback-test.groovy", "logback-test.xml", "logback.groovy", "logback.xml" }; }

Above method is from LogbackLoggingSystem class from Spring Boot 3.0.5 version. Need to remove this file name from article.

Hey @TusharGirase.

Thanks for the feedback. We'll look into this and update the article if necessary.

This issue will remain open until then.

on a separate note for this article - everything ive seen, read, and heard strongly discourages the use of JsonLayout in favor of the new and improved JsonTemplateLayout. it's even mentioned several times in the apache JsonLayout docs (https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/layouts.html#JSONLayout) that you should use JsonTemplateLayout instead (https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/json-template-layout.html). in my experience for some reason JsonTemplateLayout is quite confusing to implement (in particular, easily logging a POJO as json). i think a tutorial on implementing JsonTemplateLayout would be very beneficial to all.

Hey @TusharGirase
It's recommended in the docs to use logback-spring.xml, and it seems like it is supported.

Hi @TusharGirase, to add the logback extensions, it is recommended to use the logback-spring.xml file. It is not possible to add the logback extensions to the file logback.xml as stated in official docs link.

So it is not an issue, hence closing the ticket.
Thank you @ehsansasanian for the analysis.
