logfile endpoint in Spring Boot

I read Spring Boot Actuator documentation and saw logfile endpoint mentioned there which would really come in handy.

However this endpoint is not registered in my app and I have no idea how to make it available. What is needed here?

I'm using Spring Boot 2.7.5 and using the config server.

Although I noticed that logging.file.name works when the application.properties is embedded in the project, it didn't work when configured in the config server.

I had to use this property:

management.endpoint.logfile.external-file=${logging.file.name}

In order to enable this feature, one of these two params need to be set:

  • logging.file.name
  • logging.file.path

Logging configuration

After that the endpoint should be enabled by default.

/logfile was included in version 1.3.0+ only.

If you use an earlier version it will then not be present..

I had used below for

version 2.1.3 -> management.endpoint.logfile=C:/apps/Benefits-logs/adapt-rest.log as you can see class LogFileWebEndpointProperties

and this also works logging.file=C:/apps/Benefits-logs/adapt-rest.log

No need to add logging.path. If you see LogFileCondition class you will get to know.

I had below lines in my application.properties . I am using spring-boot with actuator

logging.file.name=./logs/log-file.log
management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=*

Without the management extension line, the response was

Whitelabel Error Page This application has no explicit mapping for /error, so you are seeing this as a fallback.

Wed Dec 04 05:04:40 IST 2019 There was an unexpected error (type=Not Found, status=404). No message available
