Sample configurations

Examples of Bobbin.yml for different use cases.

General usage

destinations:
  - name: io.infinite.bobbin.config.ConsoleDestinationConfig
    levels: [warn, error, info]
  - name: io.infinite.bobbin.config.FileDestinationConfig
    packages: [io.infinite]
    fileName: ("./LOGS/INFINITE/${className}/${level}/${className}_${level}_${date}.log")
  - name: io.infinite.bobbin.config.FileDestinationConfig
    fileName: ("./LOGS/PACKAGES/${className}/${level}/${className}_${level}_${date}.log")
    format: dateTime + '|' + level + '|' + threadName + '|' + className + '|' + message

Spring Boot

Logging Spring Boot HTTP with Bobbin

destinations:
  - name: io.infinite.bobbin.config.ConsoleDestinationConfig
    formatThrowable: "%format% + delimiter + throwable"
    levels: [warn, error, info]
  - name: io.infinite.bobbin.config.FileDestinationConfig
    levels: [warn]
    fileName: ("./LOGS/WARNINGS_${date}.log")
  - name: io.infinite.bobbin.config.FileDestinationConfig
    levels: [error]
    fileName: ("./LOGS/ERRORS_${date}.log")
  - name: io.infinite.bobbin.config.FileDestinationConfig
    packages: [org.springframework.web]
    fileName: ("./LOGS/SPRING_WEB/SPRING_WEB_${date}.log")

Logstash

Pass named parameters to Logstash without using MDC (using positioned logging arguments indexes instead).

levels: [info, warn, error, debug]
destinations:
  - name: io.infinite.bobbin.config.ConsoleDestinationConfig
    packages: [com.acme.logstash]
    dateTimeFormat: "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss:SSSZ"
    lineBreak: ",\r\n"
    formatArgs: |-
      """{
        "@timestamp": "$dateTime",
        "@version": "1",
        "message": "$message",
        "logger_name": "$className",
        "thread_name": "$threadName",
        "level": "$level",
        "username": "${args[0]}",
        "URI": "${args[1]}",
        "sessionId": "${args[2]}",
        "transactionId": "${args[3]}",
        "instanceId": "${MDC.get('instanceUUID')}"
      }"""

MDC and log formatting

Use MDC and change formatting of individual logging signatures - like formatThrowable in this case.

%format% placeholder helps to reuse the base formatting (which itself can be also overridden using format parameter).

format: dateTime + delimiter + MDC.get("instanceUUID") + delimiter + level + delimiter + threadName + delimiter + className + delimiter + message
destinations:
  - name: io.infinite.bobbin.config.ConsoleDestinationConfig
    formatThrowable: "%format% + delimiter + throwable"
    levels: [warn, error, info]
  - name: io.infinite.bobbin.config.FileDestinationConfig
    levels: [warn]
    fileName: ("./LOGS/WARNINGS_${date}.log")
  - name: io.infinite.bobbin.config.FileDestinationConfig
    levels: [error]
    fileName: ("./LOGS/ERRORS_${date}.log")
  - name: io.infinite.bobbin.config.FileDestinationConfig
    packages: [org.springframework.web]
    fileName: ("./LOGS/SPRING_WEB/SPRING_WEB_${date}.log")
  - name: io.infinite.bobbin.config.FileDestinationConfig
    packages: [io.infinite]
    fileName: ("./LOGS/THREADS/${threadGroupName}/${threadName}/${threadName}_${date}.log")
  - name: io.infinite.bobbin.config.FileDestinationConfig
    packages: [conf.plugins.output]
    fileName: ("./LOGS/PLUGINS/OUTPUT/${className}/${className}_${date}.log")
  - name: io.infinite.bobbin.config.FileDestinationConfig
    packages: [conf.plugins.input]
    fileName: ("./LOGS/PLUGINS/INPUT/${className}/${className}_${date}.log")
