spring boot - Actuator /logfile endpoint no longer works with external logback configuration -

i needed logs rolling, have created "logback-spring.xml" file , placed src/main/resources. works flawlessly.

the issue actuator endpoint "/logfile" no longer works have removed logging configuration "applications.yml" file. according documentation, either "logging.path" or "logging.file" needs set in order make "/logfile" endpoint work. seem conflict new 'xml configuration.

here logback-spring.xml configuration measure:

<configuration debug="true" scan="true"> <include resource="org/springframework/boot/logging/logback/base.xml"/> <property name="log_path" value="logs"/> <property name="log_archive" value="${log_path}/archive"/>  <appender name="rollingfile-appender" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.rollingfileappender">     <file>${log_file}</file>     <rollingpolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.timebasedrollingpolicy">         <filenamepattern>${log_archive}/bookingflow-%d{yyyy-mm-dd}.log</filenamepattern>         <maxhistory>30</maxhistory>         <totalsizecap>1gb</totalsizecap>     </rollingpolicy>     <encoder>         <pattern>%d %-5level [%thread] %logger : %msg%n</pattern>     </encoder> </appender> <appender name="async-appender" class="ch.qos.logback.classic.asyncappender">     <appender-ref ref="rollingfile-appender"/> </appender>  <logger name="com.novasol.bookingflow.api" level="debug">     <appender-ref ref="async-appender"/> </logger> <springprofile name="production">     <logger name="com.novasol.bookingflow.api" level="error">         <appender-ref ref="async-appender"/>     </logger> </springprofile> </configuration>     

any pointers appreciated.

kind regards lars

solved in following manner:

in application.yml

logging:    config:       classpath: "logback-spring.xml"    file: logs/bookingflow.log 

the "logback-spring.xml":

<configuration debug="true" scan="true"> <include resource="org/springframework/boot/logging/logback/base.xml"/> <property name="log_archive" value="${log_path}/archive"/>  <appender name="rollingfile-appender" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.rollingfileappender">     <file>${log_path}/${log_file}</file>     <rollingpolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.timebasedrollingpolicy">         <filenamepattern>${log_archive}/bookingflow-%d{yyyy-mm-dd}.log</filenamepattern>         <maxhistory>30</maxhistory>         <totalsizecap>1gb</totalsizecap>     </rollingpolicy>     <encoder>         <pattern>%d %-5level [%thread] %logger : %msg%n</pattern>     </encoder> </appender> <appender name="async-appender" class="ch.qos.logback.classic.asyncappender">     <appender-ref ref="rollingfile-appender"/> </appender>  <logger name="com.novasol.bookingflow.api" level="debug">     <appender-ref ref="async-appender"/> </logger> <springprofile name="production">     <logger name="com.novasol.bookingflow.api" level="error">         <appender-ref ref="async-appender"/>     </logger> </springprofile> 

finally found solution:

the following needs specified

endpoints:   logfile:     external-file: logs/custom.log
