Spring Boot logs, by default, to the console, but you can also log to rotating files. You can specify a file or path in application.properties. Let's see the following configuration:
# Use only one of the following properties # absolute or relative file to the current directory logging.file=accounts.log # will write to a spring.log file logging.path=/var/log/accounts
Spring Boot can also configure logging by using the appropriate configuration file of the underlying logging framework.
As you have seen how we can customize the logging activity in a Spring Boot application, let's move to the next section and see an alternative to the properties file.
