Logging to file using docker and logback

I use logback for logging. logback.xml:

<configuration>
    <appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender">
        <file>logs/test.log</file>
        <append>true</append>
        <encoder>
            <pattern>%-4relative [%thread] %-5level %logger{35} - %msg%n</pattern>
        </encoder>
    </appender>

    <appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
        <encoder>
            <pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n</pattern>
        </encoder>
    </appender>

    <root level="DEBUG">
        <appender-ref ref="FILE" />
    </root>
</configuration>

Without docker everything works fine, but with docker log file is not created. How i can see logs using docker?

Do you have specified in docker file the creation about /log/test.log file? I think the problem is the path that is not created in docker.

If you log to console (not file) then you will be able to view the logs using the 'docker logs' command. Generally, logging to file in docker is not of much use as the file will disappear with the container.

I know this is really late, but it might help someone like me in future:

The solution is to add a volume in the docker-compose.yml file, to have a place with write permission.

in docker-compose file:

volumes:
    - ${PWD}/log:/log

in application.yml:

logging:
    file:
       name: ./log/saps.log
