The src/main/resources/logback.xml file contains the JHipster logging configuration. For reference, there is an additional src/test/resources/logback-test.xml file that is used when running the unit tests.

By default, JHipster logs only to the console. When running using the mvn spring-boot:run or gradlew bootRun (the default build targets), the only place your logs will appear is in the console window. However, if running inside a web container such as Tomcat, the web container might automatically save the logs to a container-specific location. For example, Tomcat saves all log messages printed to the console to [CATALINA_HOME]/logs/catalina.out.

If you wish to reconfigure your application to print logs to a file, you can do so by uncommenting and customizing the FILE appender declaration in the logback configuration file mentioned above and then adding a reference to the FILE appender to the root logger. Example:

...


    
        logFile.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log
        90
    
    
        utf-8
        %d %-5level [%thread] %logger{0}: %msg%n
