Bootiful Logging

Your Spring Boot application is up and running. You are ready to move it to production and obviously, you want to add some logging. How do you do that while avoiding unnecessary work and getting the most out of your logs?

The practical examples are based on Spring Boot and the Elastic Stack (or ELK Stack) though the general principles will generally apply:

  • Don’t parse with regular expressions if you can avoid it.
  • Do use the features of log appenders for more structured events.
  • Don’t write log files in Docker or Kubernetes.
  • Do add correlation IDs for distributed tracing.

Stop making logging complicated and get it to production quicker.
