How to check logging implementation details in Spring Boot

I am using Spring boot.

I want to check which logging implementation is printing the message - I know with Spring boot default is Logback, and I have excluded it as mentioned in this post so mostly Logback will not be printing the messages, but I want to show it as a proof that Logback implementation is not printing and probably Log4j is printing.

Basically I need an API which I can call and I can get the details of which is the logging implementation, the way we can know Java version etc.

To check configuration you can install spring actuator framework. Through web endpoints all config params can be queried.

You can enforce Spring Boot to use a certain implementation by setting this property:

org.springframework.boot.logging.LoggingSystem

with any of:

  • org.springframework.boot.logging.logback.LogbackLoggingSystem
  • org.springframework.boot.logging.log4j2.Log4J2LoggingSystem
  • org.springframework.boot.logging.java.JavaLoggingSystem
  • none (to swith off completely)

This explicit configuration would be your proof.
