Logbook is not logging my request and responses

[alimohsin25]

Hi,

I am using java 18 with spring boot version 2.6.7. I have added following dependencies in my pom.xml:-

<dependency> <groupId>org.zalando</groupId> <artifactId>logbook-spring-boot-starter</artifactId> <version>3.0.0</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.zalando</groupId> <artifactId>logbook-json</artifactId> <version>3.0.0</version> </dependency>
After adding these dependencies, I added following configurations in application.properties:-

logging.level.org.zalando.logbook=TRACE logbook.filter.enabled=true logbook.secure-filter.enabled=true

I am using log4j with following configs:-

log4j.rootLogger=TRACE, file log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender log4j.appender.file.File=logs/application1.log log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize=5MB log4j.appender.file.MaxBackupIndex=10 log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n

Can any one please guide what I am doing wrong as I am unable to run Logbook and nothing is being logged neither in log file nor in console.

Regards,
Mohsin

Hi @alimohsin25, try adding

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.zalando</groupId>
    <artifactId>logbook-servlet</artifactId>
    <version>${logbook.version}</version>
    <classifier>javax</classifier>
</dependency>

It's a necessary change for older Spring versions since logbook 3 (see https://github.com/zalando/logbook#spring-5--spring-boot-2-support)

Also, it looks like we removed spring.factories file while adding the support for Spring Boot 3, I'm adding it back in #1533. In the meantime, you could force Spring to use the Logbook's autoconfiguration file by adding @ImportAutoConfiguration(classes = LogbookAutoConfiguration.class) to your application.
