Logging with logback

Greetings! It is important to add proper loggers into our application because when something bad happens, it is the way to gather related information. There are multiple libraries for logging in Java like JUL, log4j, logback. Spring uses logback as the default library. When we add any starter dependency that will add starter-logging as well since it depends transitively on the logging starter. howto-configure-logback-for-logging Complete source code,  todoapp $ git clone https://github.com/slmanju/todoapp.git $ cd todoapp $ gradle clean bootrun Log Levels Log messages can be used in several levels.
