I've recently switched from log4j to logback and am wondering if there is an easy way to run logback in debug mode, similar to log4j's log4j.debug property. I need to see where it is picking up my logback.xml from.
The docs mention using a StatusPrinter to print out logback's internal status, but that would require code changes.
You can set the status listener class via system property:
java -Dlogback.statusListenerClass=ch.qos.logback.core.status.OnConsoleStatusListener ...
See: Logback manual
Well, It's pretty easy. Either you can use
log.level = debug
inside the application.properties of Spring boot.
or you can also set this in the configuration file of logback.xml
<root level="${log.level}">
<appender-ref ref="ANY_APPENDER" />
</root>
In eclipse you can have multiple run configurations. Open your main class. Go to Debug dropdown on eclipse toolbar and select Debug configurations. Click the New launch configuration icon at the top left. Give your launch configuration a better name. Click the Arguments tab under the name and enter -Dlog.level=debug or whatever you want. Click Close or Debug
You can do this again and specify -Dlog.level=warn for example.
