Hi, Perfect! Thank you! I found the log file in the $TOMCAT_HOME/bin/ directory. That brings up the question of why does the log file output by default to the $TOMCAT_HOME/bin directory and not the $TOMCAT_HOME/logs directory? Regards, Will Ceki Gulcu wrote:
You should see a file called "access.log" in the current directly, or the directory where Tomcat is started, e.g. $TOMCAT_HOME/bin/.
You could perhaps post the contents of your "logback-access.xml" file.

What do the status messages say?

Hi,
Yes, I did add
<Valve className="ch.qos.logback.access.tomcat.LogbackValve"/>
to the server.xml and I do see the internal status printing to the console. I just don't see the log file being created.
Regards, Will

Hello,
Have you added
<Valve className="ch.qos.logback.access.tomcat.LogbackValve"/>
to server.xml?
Moreover, is logback-access printing its internal status on the console? (It does that automatically unless instructed otherwise.)

Hi all,
I tried searching through the archives for any suggestions or answers to my dilemma so I must resort to posting this question.
I’m attempting to use the LogbackValve with Tomcat 5.5 and I’m not achieving the results that I expected. What I’d like to do is have Tomcat use LogbackValve instead of org.apache.catalina.valves.FastCommonAccessLogValve. I attempted to follow the instructions detailed on this page, http://logback.qos.ch/access.html#tomcat, but to no avail. No log file is created in the TOMCAT_HOME/logs directory which I would expect it to do upon startup of Tomcat. What am I missing?
Line in server.xml:
<Valve className="ch.qos.logback.access.tomcat.LogbackValve"/>
Logback-access.xml:
<configuration debug=”true”>
<appender name="FILE"
class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
<File>access.log"</File>
<rollingPolicy
class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
<FileNamePattern>access.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log.zip</FileNamePattern>
</rollingPolicy>
<triggeringPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy">
<MaxFileSize>5MB</MaxFileSize>
</triggeringPolicy>
<layout class="ch.qos.logback.access.PatternLayout">
<Pattern>combined</Pattern>
</layout>
</appender>
<appender-ref ref="FILE" />
</configuration>
