You can make BOOST_LOG_TRIVIAL use a file with (assuming that namespace logging = boost::log;:

#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 

void init()
{
    logging::add_file_log("sample.log");

    logging::core::get()->set_filter
    (
        logging::trivial::severity >= logging::trivial::info
    );
}

And in main:

int main(int, char*[])
{
    init();

    BOOST_LOG_TRIVIAL(trace) << "A trace severity message";
 // other types of severity
    BOOST_LOG_TRIVIAL(fatal) << "A fatal severity message";

    return 0;
}
