Java Spring Boot use Seq for logging

#java #springboot #seq #logging

The primary motivation is that I use SEQ for logging, but I couldn't find a quick complete guide to use SEQ with java spring boot using gradle. So here I'm documenting my findings.

Steps

I'm using this configuration for the project

Add these to`build.gradle` for dependency

repositories {    ...    maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }}dependencies {    ...    implementation 'com.github.serilogj:serilogj:v0.6.1'}

Now just configure the logger

// import serilogj.Log;// import serilogj.LoggerConfiguration;// import serilogj.events.LogEventLevel;// import static serilogj.sinks.seq.SeqSinkConfigurator.seq;// setting up the loggerLog.setLogger(new LoggerConfiguration()        .writeTo(seq("http://localhost:5341/"))        .setMinimumLevel(LogEventLevel.Verbose)        .createLogger());// using the loggervar logger = Log.getLogger().forContext(SpringApplication.class);logger.information("Hello World");

With this setup the logger should work
