SpringBoot 1.5.x not writing to file at logging.file - java

I have a service that has loggers in a lot of places like this
private static final Logger LOGGER =
LoggerFactory.getLogger(myclass.class);
These loggers are writing to my console but are not writing to the file I specified in my application.properties file like this
logging.file=my-service.log
my pom.xml file

I have tried adding my own logback-spring.xml file that only writes to a file and that seems to only stop the the printing to the console but still it doesn't write to the file. Described here Spring Boot - no log file written (logging.file is not respected)
I have stepped through the code and noticed that the LoggingSystem class is setting the properties correctly. Also if I exclude starter-logging dependency like this
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-logging</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
then the service log file is created but by the internal Java handler and it's in the wrong format. I want to use the Spring one because it can show more info when setting the log level to TRACE or DEBUG.
Has anyone else seen this problem and know how to make Spring write the service logs to that filed specified?
UPDATE
It seems the issue is coming from these dependencies
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-config</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-context</artifactId>
</dependency>
It seems any springframework.cloud dependency will cause the project to not create the logging.file file.


I found the problem and the solution.
I needed to put the logging properties like
logging.file=my-service.log
in a bootstrap.properties file. This file should be places in the resources directory where the application.properties file is.
It seems that when using the springframework.cloud dependency BootstrapApplicationListener is called first to initialize LogbackLoggingSystem class. Then since those properties are initialized then the application ignores them in the application.properties file.

Can Spring Boot write Unix timestamp into logs with default slf4j and logback?

I've working on this for several days. I found a logback document.
It said there is a %ms field but only provided from v1.3. That means the default logback version(v1.2.3) in spring-boot-starter can not make the work by using %d{}, doesn't it?
I've tried to upgrade my slf4j and logback versions(logback v1.3.0-alpha14, slf4j 2.0.0-alpha5). But slf4j threw an error while building:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder
So I have no idea now. The default version logger may doesn't support it, and the upgraded version will report an error. What should I do?
My application.yml:
logging:
pattern:
console: "{SOMETHING SHOULD BE PUT HERE} ${LOG_LEVEL_PATTERN:%5p} [%-6.6thread] %-50.50logger{49} : %m%n%wEx"

An attempt was made to call a method that does not exist. The attempt was made from the following location:
org.hibernate.cfg.annotations.EntityBinder.processComplementaryTableDefinitions(EntityBinder.java:1238)
The following method did not exist:
javax.persistence.Table.indexes()[Ljavax/persistence/Index;
The method's class, javax.persistence.Table, is available from the following locations:
jar:file:/C:/Users/INTEL/Desktop/timetablesystem/lib/javax.persistence.jar!/javax/persistence/Table.class
jar:file:/C:/Users/INTEL/.m2/repository/jakarta/persistence/jakarta.persistence-api/2.2.3/jakarta.persistence-api-2.2.3.jar!/javax/persistence/Table.class
The class hierarchy was loaded from the following locations:
javax.persistence.Table: file:/C:/Users/INTEL/Desktop/timetablesystem/lib/javax.persistence.jar
Action:
Correct the classpath of your application so that it contains a single, compatible version of javax.persistence.Table

You need to remove C:/Users/INTEL/Desktop/timetablesystem/lib/javax.persistence.jar from the classpath of your application as it contains an old version of the Java Persistence API that is incompatible with the version of Spring Boot that you're using. Exactly how that should be done depends on how you're running your application.

Can't see internal logs of Spring Boot app in $CATALINA_HOME/logs/localhost*.log

It's the second day I'm trying to find internal logs of my application. I've tried different approaches but none works.
What I have:
The application is run on Google cloud (maybe it makes scence)
Java 12
Spring Boot 2.1.7.RELEASE
Tomcat 9
How I am logging:
Firstly, I've tried simply use Lombok and its #Log4j2. I couldn't see any log in $CATALINA_HOME/logs/localhost.*.log.
Then I found several questions on stackoverflow. There is said that I need exclude spring-boot-starter-logging from pom.xml and add spring-boot-starter-log4j2. It didn't work, as well...
The third option was to use Slf4j. The same results :c
However, when I start the app via Intellij, Everything is logged. And what seems to me strange is when I type service tomcat9 status on the VM, I can see a bit of logs like part of Spring banner.

The forth variant: as above, I added exclusions to pom.xml AND created log4j2.xml, where I specified log file.

You must convert your app to App Engine config. If you are using GOOGLE APP ENGINE standard, follow these steps:
Use the WAR packaging
You must use WAR packaging to deploy into Google App Engine Standard.
If you generate a Spring Boot project from start.spring.io, make sure you switch to the full version view of the initializer site, and select WAR packaging.
If you have an existing JAR packaging project, you can convert it into a WAR project by:
In pom.xml, change <packaging>jar</packaging> to <packaging>war</packaging>
Create a new SpringBootServletInitializer implementation:
public class ServletInitializer extends SpringBootServletInitializer {
#Override
protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) {
return application.sources(YourApplication.class);
}
}
Remove Tomcat Starter
Google App Engine Standard deploys your WAR into a Jetty server. Spring Boot's starter includes Tomcat by default. This will introduce conflicts. Exclude Tomcat dependencies:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
Do not include the Jetty dependencies. But you must include Servlet API dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
<version>3.1.0</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
Add App Engine Standard Plugin
In the pom.xml, add the App Engine Standard plugin:
<plugin>
<groupId>com.google.cloud.tools</groupId>
<artifactId>appengine-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.3.1</version>
</plugin>
This plugin is used to run local development server as well as deploying the application into Google App Engine.
Add App Engine Configuration
Add a src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/appengine-web.xml:
<appengine-web-app xmlns="http://appengine.google.com/ns/1.0">
<version>1</version>
<threadsafe>true</threadsafe>
<runtime>java8</runtime>
</appengine-web-app>
This configure is required for applications running in Google App Engine.
Exclude JUL to SLF4J Bridge
Spring Boot's default logging bridge conflicts with Jetty's logging system. To be able to capture the Spring Boot startup logs, you need to exclude org.slf4j:jul-to-slf4j dependency. The easiest way to do this is to set the dependency scope to provided, so that it won't be included in the WAR file:
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
<version>3.1.0</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
Out of memory errors
With Spring Boot >= 1.5.6, you may run into out of memory errors on startup. Please follow these instructions to work around this issue:
Inside src/main/resources, adding a logging.properties file with:
.level = INFO
Inside src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/appengine-web.xml, add a config that points to the new logging.properties file.
<system-properties>
<property name="java.util.logging.config.file" value="WEB-INF/classes/logging.properties"/>
</system-properties>
