Java Spring Boot use Seq for 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

Project setup

Add these to build.gradle for dependency

repositories {
    ...
    maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}

dependencies {
    ...
    implementation 'com.github.serilogj:serilogj:v0.6.1'
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

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 logger
Log.setLogger(new LoggerConfiguration()
        .writeTo(seq("http://localhost:5341/"))
        .setMinimumLevel(LogEventLevel.Verbose)
        .createLogger());

// using the logger
var logger = Log.getLogger().forContext(SpringApplication.class);
logger.information("Hello World");
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

With this setup the logger should work
