I have to put all the log data (i.e., debug, info, error) into mysql database instead of to file/console. I read the spring boot documentation but I didn\'t see any configurati

Answer 1

I read the spring boot documentation but I didn't see any configuration related to database for logging.

Because spring boot hands off that functionality to logging framework (slf4j + logback/log4j etc). So you need to configure your logging framework accordingly using it's configuration file (eg: logback.xml, logback-spring.xml, logback.groovy etc). Default logging frameworks in Spring boot is slf4j+logback. So checkout how you can use DBAppender.

For Logback

1. create logback.xml file:

    
        
        
            %d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%thread] %-5level %logger{5} - %msg%n
            
        
    
    
        
            org.postgresql.Driver
            jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/simple
            postgres
            root 
        
    

    
    
        
        
    

2. Create the 3 tables

logging_event

logging_event_property

logging_event_exception

They must exist before DBAppender can be used

For Log4J
