Hi, I want to get the tomcat logs through logback. I got following reference related to it and planning to try it, the only difference in my case would be a Syslog appender instead of a log file: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/logging.html#log4j This approach required doing some changes in tomcat lib directory etc. I know Logback provides bridging to legacy APIs like java.util.logging http://www.slf4j.org/legacy.html I used jul-to-slf4j bridge to get the liquibase logs into my web application log file. Similarly does Logback provide some thing to get tomcat logs through logback. It is OK with me to get the copy of tomcat logs and tomcat also logging to to its own log files separately. Tomcat uses common logging internally. If I could get some way in which user don't have to make any changes in the tomcat configuration before/after the application deployment then it will be great. Any inputs? Thanks, Pradnya
