How to implement logging in a Spring Boot application

Logging is important for any application because it helps track errors and monitor system activity. In Spring Boot, logging can be implemented using the Logback or Log4j libraries, which provide a range of logging options. You can configure logging by defining logging profiles and specifying logging levels for specific packages or classes.

Here is an example of logging in a Spring Boot application using Logback :

Add the Logback dependency to the pom.xml file:

<dependency>
  <groupId>ch.qos.logback</groupId>
  <artifactId>logback-classic</artifactId>
</dependency>

Create a logback.xml configuration file in the src/main/resources directory of your application. This file defines the logging settings for your application.

<configuration>
<appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
    <encoder>
      <pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%thread] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n</pattern>
    </encoder>
  </appender>
  <root level="info">
    <appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
  </root>
</configuration>
