Logging configuration

Read about the use of logging API in Quarkus, configuring logging output, and using logging adapters to unify the output from other logging APIs.

Quarkus uses the JBoss Log Manager logging backend for publishing application and framework logs. Quarkus supports the JBoss Logging API and multiple other logging APIs, seamlessly integrated with JBoss Log Manager. You can use any of the following APIs:

Use JBoss Logging for application logging

When using the JBoss Logging API, your application requires no additional dependencies, as Quarkus automatically provides it.

An example of using the JBoss Logging API to log a message:
import org.jboss.logging.Logger;

import jakarta.ws.rs.GET;
import jakarta.ws.rs.Path;
import jakarta.ws.rs.Produces;
import jakarta.ws.rs.core.MediaType;

@Path("/hello")
public class ExampleResource {

    private static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(ExampleResource.class);

    @GET
    @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
    public String hello() {
        LOG.info("Hello");
        return "hello";
    }
}
While JBoss Logging routes log messages into JBoss Log Manager directly, one of your libraries might rely on a different logging API. In such cases, you need to use a logging adapter to ensure that its log messages are routed to JBoss Log Manager as well.

Get an application logger

To get an application logger in Quarkus, select one of the following approaches.

Declaring a logger field

With this classic approach, you use a specific API to obtain a logger instance, store it in a static field of a class, and call logging operations upon this instance.

The same flow can be applied with any of the supported logging APIs.

An example of storing a logger instance into a static field by using the JBoss Logging API:
package com.example;

import org.jboss.logging.Logger;

public class MyService {
    private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(MyService.class); (1)

    public void doSomething() {
        log.info("It works!"); (2)
    }
}
1 Define the logger field.
2 Invoke the desired logging methods on the log object.

Simplified logging

Quarkus simplifies logging by automatically adding logger fields to classes that use io.quarkus.logging.Log. This eliminates the need for repetitive boilerplate code and enhances logging setup convenience.

An example of simplified logging with static method calls:
package com.example;

import io.quarkus.logging.Log; (1)

class MyService { (2)
    public void doSomething() {
        Log.info("Simple!"); (3)
    }
}
1 The io.quarkus.logging.Log class contains the same methods as JBoss Logging, except that they are static.
2 Note that the class does not declare a logger field. This is because during application build, a private static final org.jboss.logging.Logger field is created automatically in each class that uses the Log API. The fully qualified name of the class that calls the Log methods is used as a logger name. In this example, the logger name would be com.example.MyService.
3 Finally, all calls to Log methods are rewritten to regular JBoss Logging calls on the logger field during the application build.
Only use the Log API in application classes, not in external dependencies. Log method calls that are not processed by Quarkus at build time will throw an exception.

Injecting a configured logger

The injection of a configured org.jboss.logging.Logger logger instance with the @Inject annotation is another alternative to adding an application logger, but is applicable only to CDI beans.

You can use @Inject Logger log, where the logger gets named after the class you inject it to, or @Inject @LoggerName("…​") Logger log, where the logger will receive the specified name. Once injected, you can use the log object to invoke logging methods.

An example of two different types of logger injection:
package com.example;

import org.jboss.logging.Logger;

@ApplicationScoped
class SimpleBean {

   @Inject
   Logger log; (1)

   @LoggerName("foo")
   Logger fooLog; (2)

   public void ping() {
     log.info("Simple!");
     fooLog.info("Goes to _foo_ logger!");
   }
}
1 The fully qualified class name (FQCN) of the declaring class is used as a logger name, for example, org.jboss.logging.Logger.getLogger(SimpleBean.class) will be used.
2 In this case, the name foo is used as a logger name, for example, org.jboss.logging.Logger.getLogger("foo") will be used.
The logger instances are cached internally. Therefore, when a logger is injected, for example, into a @RequestScoped bean, it is shared for all bean instances to avoid possible performance penalties associated with logger instantiation.

Use log levels

Quarkus provides different log levels, which helps developers to control the amount of information logged based on the severity of the events.

Available log levels:
OFF

A special level used in configuration to turn off logging.
FATAL

A critical service failure or total inability to handle any requests.
ERROR

A major issue in processing or an inability to complete a request.
WARN

A non-critical service error or problem that might not require immediate correction.
INFO

Service lifecycle events or other important infrequent information.
DEBUG

Additional information about lifecycle events or events not tied to specific requests, useful for debugging.
TRACE

Detailed per-request debugging information, potentially at a very high frequency.
ALL

A special level to turn on logging for all messages, including custom levels.

You can also configure the following levels for applications and libraries that use java.util.logging:

SEVERE

Same as ERROR.
WARNING

Same as WARN.
CONFIG

Service configuration information.
FINE

Same as DEBUG.
FINER

Same as TRACE.
FINEST

Increased debug output compared to TRACE, which might have a higher frequency.

Configure the log level, category, and format

JBoss Logging, integrated into Quarkus, offers a unified configuration for all supported logging APIs through a single configuration file that sets up all available extensions. To adjust runtime logging, modify the application.properties file.

An example of how you can set the default log level to INFO logging and include Hibernate DEBUG logs:
quarkus.log.level=INFO
quarkus.log.category."org.hibernate".level=DEBUG

When you set the log level to below DEBUG, you must also adjust the minimum log level. This setting might be applied either globally with the quarkus.log.min-level configuration property, or per category:

quarkus.log.category."org.hibernate".min-level=TRACE

This sets a floor level for which Quarkus needs to generate supporting code. The minimum log level must be set at build time so that Quarkus can open the door to optimization opportunities where logging on unusable levels can be elided.

An example from native execution:

Setting INFO as the minimum logging level sets lower-level checks, such as isTraceEnabled, to false. This identifies code like if(logger.isDebug()) callMethod(); that will never be executed and mark it as "dead."

If you add these properties on the command line, ensure the " character is escaped properly:

-Dquarkus.log.category.\"org.hibernate\".level=TRACE

All potential properties are listed in the logging configuration reference section.

Logging categories

Logging is configured on a per-category basis, with each category being configured independently. Configuration for a category applies recursively to all subcategories unless there is a more specific subcategory configuration.

The parent of all logging categories is called the "root category." As the ultimate parent, this category might contain a configuration that applies globally to all other categories. This includes the globally configured handlers and formatters.

Example 1. An example of a global configuration that applies to all categories:
quarkus.log.handlers=con,mylog

quarkus.log.handler.console.con.enable=true
quarkus.log.handler.file.mylog.enable=true

In this example, the root category is configured to use two named handlers: con and mylog.

Example 2. An example of a per-category configuration:
quarkus.log.category."org.apache.kafka.clients".level=INFO
quarkus.log.category."org.apache.kafka.common.utils".level=INFO

This example shows how you can configure the minimal log level on the categories org.apache.kafka.clients and org.apache.kafka.common.utils.

For more information, see Logging configuration reference.

If you want to configure something extra for a specific category, create a named handler like quarkus.log.handler.[console|file|syslog].<your-handler-name>.* and set it up for that category by using quarkus.log.category.<my-category>.handlers.

An example use case can be a desire to use a different timestamp format for log messages which are saved to a file than the format used for other handlers.

For further demonstration, see the outputs of the Attaching named handlers to a category example.

Property Name Default Description

quarkus.log.category."<category-name>".level

INFO [1]

The level to use to configure the category named <category-name>. The quotes are necessary.

quarkus.log.category."<category-name>".min-level

DEBUG

The minimum logging level to use to configure the category named <category-name>. The quotes are necessary.

quarkus.log.category."<category-name>".use-parent-handlers

true

Specify whether this logger should send its output to its parent logger.

quarkus.log.category."<category-name>".handlers=[<handler>]

empty [2]

The names of the handlers that you want to attach to a specific category.

The . symbol separates the specific parts in the configuration property. The quotes in the property name are used as a required escape to keep category specifications, such as quarkus.log.category."io.quarkus.smallrye.jwt".level=TRACE, intact.

Root logger configuration

The root logger category is handled separately, and is configured by using the following properties:

Property Name Default Description

quarkus.log.level

INFO

The default log level for every log category.

quarkus.log.min-level

DEBUG

The default minimum log level for every log category.

  • The parent category is examined if no level configuration exists for a given logger category.

  • The root logger configuration is used if no specific configurations are provided for the category and any of its parent categories.

Although the root logger’s handlers are usually configured directly via quarkus.log.console, quarkus.log.file and quarkus.log.syslog, it can nonetheless have additional named handlers attached to it using the quarkus.log.handlers property.

Logging format

Quarkus uses a pattern-based logging formatter that generates human-readable text logs by default, but you can also configure the format for each log handler by using a dedicated property.

For the console handler, the property is quarkus.log.console.format.

The logging format string supports the following symbols:

Symbol Summary Description

%%

%

Renders a simple % character.

%c

Category

Renders the category name.

%C

Source class

Renders the source class name.[3]

Renders the thrown exception, if any.

%F

Source file

Renders the source file name.[3]

%h

Renders the system’s fully qualified host name, which might be the same as the simple host name, depending on operating system configuration.

%i

Process ID

Render the current process PID.

%l

Source location

Renders the source location information, which includes source file name, line number, class name, and method name.[3]

%L

Source line

Alternative console logging formats

Changing the console log format is useful, for example, when the console output of the Quarkus application is captured by a service that processes and stores the log information for later analysis.

JSON logging format

The quarkus-logging-json extension might be employed to add support for the JSON logging format and its related configuration.

  1. Add this extension to your build file as the following snippet illustrates:

    pom.xml
    <dependency>
    <groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>
    <artifactId>quarkus-logging-json</artifactId>
</dependency>
    build.gradle
    implementation("io.quarkus:quarkus-logging-json")

    By default, the presence of this extension replaces the output format configuration from the console configuration, and the format string and the color settings (if any) are ignored. The other console configuration items, including those that control asynchronous logging and the log level, will continue to be applied.

    For some, it will make sense to use humanly readable (unstructured) logging in dev mode and JSON logging (structured) in production mode. This can be achieved using different profiles, as shown in the following configuration.

  2. Disable JSON logging in application.properties for dev and test mode:

    %dev.quarkus.log.console.json=false
%test.quarkus.log.console.json=false
Configuration

Configure the JSON logging extension using supported properties to customize its behavior.

Configuration property fixed at build time - All other configuration properties are overridable at runtime

Log handlers

A log handler is a logging component responsible for the emission of log events to a recipient. Quarkus includes several different log handlers: console, file, and syslog.

The featured examples use com.example as a logging category.

Console log handler

The console log handler is enabled by default, and it directs all log events to the application’s console, usually the system’s stdout.

  • A global configuration example:

    quarkus.log.console.format=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p [%c] (%t) %s%e%n

  • A per-category configuration example:

    quarkus.log.handler.console.my-console-handler.format=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} [com.example] %s%e%n

quarkus.log.category."com.example".handlers=my-console-handler
quarkus.log.category."com.example".use-parent-handlers=false

For details about its configuration, see the console logging configuration reference.

File log handler

To log events to a file on the application’s host, use the Quarkus file log handler. The file log handler is disabled by default, so you must first enable it.

The Quarkus file log handler supports log file rotation.

Log file rotation ensures efficient log management by preserving a specified number of backup files while keeping the primary log file updated and at a manageable size.

  • A global configuration example:

    quarkus.log.file.enable=true
quarkus.log.file.path=application.log
quarkus.log.file.format=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p [%c] (%t) %s%e%n

  • A per-category configuration example:

    quarkus.log.handler.file.my-file-handler.enable=true
quarkus.log.handler.file.my-file-handler.path=application.log
quarkus.log.handler.file.my-file-handler.format=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} [com.example] %s%e%n

quarkus.log.category."com.example".handlers=my-file-handler
quarkus.log.category."com.example".use-parent-handlers=false

For details about its configuration, see the file logging configuration reference.

Syslog log handler

The syslog handler in Quarkus follows the Syslog protocol, which is used to send log messages on UNIX-like systems. It uses the protocol defined in RFC 5424.

By default, the syslog handler is disabled. When enabled, it sends all log events to a syslog server, typically the local syslog server for the application.

  • A global configuration example:

    quarkus.log.syslog.enable=true
quarkus.log.syslog.app-name=my-application
quarkus.log.syslog.format=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p [%c] (%t) %s%e%n

  • A per-category configuration example:

    quarkus.log.handler.syslog.my-syslog-handler.enable=true
quarkus.log.handler.syslog.my-syslog-handler.app-name=my-application
quarkus.log.handler.syslog.my-syslog-handler.format=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} [com.example] %s%e%n

quarkus.log.category."com.example".handlers=my-syslog-handler
quarkus.log.category."com.example".use-parent-handlers=false

For details about its configuration, see the Syslog logging configuration reference.

Add a logging filter to your log handler

Log handlers, such as the console log handler, can be linked with a filter that determines whether a log record should be logged.

To register a logging filter:

  1. Annotate a final class that implements java.util.logging.Filter with @io.quarkus.logging.LoggingFilter, and set the name property:

    An example of writing a filter:
    package com.example;

import io.quarkus.logging.LoggingFilter;
import java.util.logging.Filter;
import java.util.logging.LogRecord;

@LoggingFilter(name = "my-filter")
public final class TestFilter implements Filter {

    private final String part;

    public TestFilter(@ConfigProperty(name = "my-filter.part") String part) {
        this.part = part;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean isLoggable(LogRecord record) {
        return !record.getMessage().contains(part);
    }
}

    In this example, we exclude log records containing specific text from console logs. The specific text to filter on is not hard-coded; instead, it is read from the my-filter.part configuration property.

    An example of Configuring the filter in application.properties:
    my-filter.part=TEST

  2. Attach the filter to the corresponding handler using the filter configuration property, located in application.properties:

    quarkus.log.console.filter=my-filter

Examples of logging configurations

The following examples show some of the ways in which you can configure logging in Quarkus:

Console DEBUG logging except for Quarkus logs (INFO), no color, shortened time, shortened category prefixes
quarkus.log.console.format=%d{HH:mm:ss} %-5p [%c{2.}] (%t) %s%e%n
quarkus.log.console.level=DEBUG
quarkus.console.color=false

quarkus.log.category."io.quarkus".level=INFO
If you add these properties in the command line, ensure " is escaped. For example, -Dquarkus.log.category.\"io.quarkus\".level=DEBUG.
File TRACE logging configuration
quarkus.log.file.enable=true
# Send output to a trace.log file under the /tmp directory
quarkus.log.file.path=/tmp/trace.log
quarkus.log.file.level=TRACE
quarkus.log.file.format=%d{HH:mm:ss} %-5p [%c{2.}] (%t) %s%e%n
# Set 2 categories (io.quarkus.smallrye.jwt, io.undertow.request.security) to TRACE level
quarkus.log.min-level=TRACE
quarkus.log.category."io.quarkus.smallrye.jwt".level=TRACE
quarkus.log.category."io.undertow.request.security".level=TRACE
As we do not change the root logger, the console log contains only INFO or higher level logs.
Named handlers attached to a category
# Send output to a trace.log file under the /tmp directory
quarkus.log.file.path=/tmp/trace.log
quarkus.log.console.format=%d{HH:mm:ss} %-5p [%c{2.}] (%t) %s%e%n
# Configure a named handler that logs to console
quarkus.log.handler.console."STRUCTURED_LOGGING".format=%e%n
# Configure a named handler that logs to file
quarkus.log.handler.file."STRUCTURED_LOGGING_FILE".enable=true
quarkus.log.handler.file."STRUCTURED_LOGGING_FILE".format=%e%n
# Configure the category and link the two named handlers to it
quarkus.log.category."io.quarkus.category".level=INFO
quarkus.log.category."io.quarkus.category".handlers=STRUCTURED_LOGGING,STRUCTURED_LOGGING_FILE
Named handlers attached to the root logger
# configure a named file handler that sends the output to 'quarkus.log'
quarkus.log.handler.file.CONSOLE_MIRROR.enable=true
quarkus.log.handler.file.CONSOLE_MIRROR.path=quarkus.log
# attach the handler to the root logger
quarkus.log.handlers=CONSOLE_MIRROR

Centralized log management

Use a centralized location to efficiently collect, store, and analyze log data from various components and instances of the application.

To send logs to a centralized tool such as Graylog, Logstash, or Fluentd, see the Quarkus Centralized log management guide.

OpenTelemetry logging

Logging entries from all appenders can be sent using OpenTelemetry Logging.

For details, see the Quarkus OpenTelemetry Logging guide.

Configure logging for @QuarkusTest

Enable proper logging for @QuarkusTest by setting the java.util.logging.manager system property to org.jboss.logmanager.LogManager.

The system property must be set early on to be effective, so it is recommended to configure it in the build system.

Use other logging APIs

Quarkus relies on the JBoss Logging library for all the logging requirements.

Suppose you use libraries that depend on other logging libraries, such as Apache Commons Logging, Log4j, or SLF4J. In that case, exclude them from the dependencies and use one of the JBoss Logging adapters.

This is especially important when building native executables, as you could encounter issues similar to the following when compiling the native executable:

Caused by java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.commons.logging.impl.LogFactoryImpl

The logging implementation is not included in the native executable, but you can resolve this issue using JBoss Logging adapters.

These adapters are available for popular open-source logging components, as explained in the next chapter.

Add a logging adapter to your application

For each logging API that is not jboss-logging:

  1. Add a logging adapter library to ensure that messages logged through these APIs are routed to the JBoss Log Manager backend.

    This step is unnecessary for libraries that are dependencies of a Quarkus extension where the extension handles it automatically.

    • Apache Commons Logging:

      pom.xml
      <dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss.logging</groupId>
    <artifactId>commons-logging-jboss-logging</artifactId>
</dependency>
      build.gradle
      implementation("org.jboss.logging:commons-logging-jboss-logging")

    • Log4j:

      pom.xml
      <dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss.logmanager</groupId>
    <artifactId>log4j-jboss-logmanager</artifactId>
</dependency>
      build.gradle
      implementation("org.jboss.logmanager:log4j-jboss-logmanager")

    • Log4j 2:

      pom.xml
      <dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss.logmanager</groupId>
    <artifactId>log4j2-jboss-logmanager</artifactId>
</dependency>
      build.gradle
      implementation("org.jboss.logmanager:log4j2-jboss-logmanager")

      Do not include any Log4j dependencies, as the log4j2-jboss-logmanager library contains everything needed to use Log4j as a logging implementation.

    • SLF4J:

      pom.xml
      <dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss.slf4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>slf4j-jboss-logmanager</artifactId>
</dependency>
      build.gradle
      implementation("org.jboss.slf4j:slf4j-jboss-logmanager")

  2. Verify whether the logs generated by the added library adhere to the same format as the other Quarkus logs.

Use MDC to add contextual log information

Quarkus overrides the logging Mapped Diagnostic Context (MDC) to improve compatibility with its reactive core.

Add and read MDC data

To add data to the MDC and extract it in your log output:

  1. Use the MDC class to set the data.

    1. Add import org.jboss.logmanager.MDC;

    2. Set MDC.put(…​) as shown in the example below:

      An example with JBoss Logging and io.quarkus.logging.Log
      package me.sample;

import io.quarkus.logging.Log;
import jakarta.ws.rs.GET;
import jakarta.ws.rs.Path;
import org.jboss.logmanager.MDC;

import java.util.UUID;

@Path("/hello/jboss")
public class GreetingResourceJbossLogging {

    @GET
    @Path("/test")
    public String greeting() {
        MDC.put("request.id", UUID.randomUUID().toString());
        MDC.put("request.path", "/hello/test");
        Log.info("request received");
        return "hello world!";
    }
}

  2. Configure the log format to use %X{mdc-key}:

    quarkus.log.console.format=%d{HH:mm:ss} %-5p request.id=%X{request.id} request.path=%X{request.path} [%c{2.}] (%t) %s%n

    The resulting message contains the MDC data:

    08:48:13 INFO request.id=c37a3a36-b7f6-4492-83a1-de41dbc26fe2 request.path=/hello/test [me.sa.GreetingResourceJbossLogging] (executor-thread-1) request received

MDC and supported logging APIs

Based on your logging API, use one of the following MDC classes:

  • Log4j 1 - org.apache.log4j.MDC.put(key, value)

  • Log4j 2 - org.apache.logging.log4j.ThreadContext.put(key, value)

  • SLF4J - org.slf4j.MDC.put(key, value)

MDC propagation

In Quarkus, the MDC provider has a specific implementation for handling the reactive context, ensuring that MDC data is propagated during reactive and asynchronous processing.

As a result, you can still access the MDC data in various scenarios:

  • After asynchronous calls, for example, when a REST client returns a Uni.

  • In code submitted to org.eclipse.microprofile.context.ManagedExecutor.

  • In code executed with vertx.executeBlocking().

If applicable, MDC data is stored in a duplicated context, which is an isolated context for processing a single task or request.

About the MemorySize format

A size configuration option recognizes strings in this format (shown as a regular expression): [0-9]+[KkMmGgTtPpEeZzYy]?.

If no suffix is given, assume bytes.
1. Some extensions might define customized default log levels for certain categories to reduce log noise by default. Setting the log level in configuration will override any extension-defined log levels.
2. By default, the configured category gets the same handlers attached as the one on the root logger.
3. Format sequences which examine caller information might affect performance
