Hi kirti, As per http://logback.qos.ch/manual/configuration.html#autoScan document the logback configuration loads automatically on modifications.Even though if you want it to load manually look around joran configurator.

Hi,
I am using external properties file(*process_settings.properties*) for variable substitution to programmatically configure the following logger parameters:******
BACKUP_COUNT (backup history)****
FILE_SIZE****
*LOG_LEVEL*****
** **
From my application, after I set the above mentioned params in properties file, I want the logback configuration(and hence the new properties file) to be reloaded and restarted again.****
** **
For that I am doing:****
LoggerContext loggerContext = (LoggerContext) LoggerFactory.* getILoggerFactory*();****
loggerContext.reset();****
ContextInitializer ci = *new* ContextInitializer(loggerContext);****
ci.autoConfig();****
** **
On restart, logback.xml is not using the updated properties file, instead it is still substituting values which were set previously. ****
** **
Please suggest how to restart logback such that the updated properties file is picked up.****
(Properties file is being correctly updated – this has been verified) *** *
** **
*Logback.xml*
<?xml version=*"1.0"* encoding=*"UTF-8"*?>****
<configuration>****
