adding a custom logback log pattern in spring boot yml file

I have been looking all over and was not able to figure this out. I need to add a custom log pattern for log output. I can do this very easily through a logback.xml file in the resources directory and it works exactly as I want it.

However, I would like to be able to do this throughout he application.yml file if that is possible. Mostly because I would like to externalize it in one place.

I have the normal logging stuff in application.yml as below:

    #logging definitions

use the hierarchy tree to set logging levels

logging: file: logs/accountservice.log level: org: springframework: 'INFO' com: mangofactory: swagger: scanners: 'OFF' cisco: services: 'DEBUG'

The log pattern is like this:

You can use logging.pattern.console and logging.pattern.file for customizing the log pattern to use on the console and file, respectively. For example, if you add this to your application.yml:

logging:
  pattern:
    console: '%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} %msg%n'

Your console logs would be like:

16:09:43.299 Log message

Checkout the Spring Boot documentation on Customizing log configuration for more information.

As of Spring Boot 1.2 it's not possible to customize the pattern using application.yml. There is a feature request open to improve this (https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/1788).
