As described in the manual, one can set logback so that the logback config file is scanned for modifications by including the scan attribute on the <configuration> tag.

However, if a property file is defined for property substitution with the <property> tag, that property file is NOT scanned for modifications.

Is it possible to set up the property file to be scanned for changes?

If not, can I make a feature request to add this ability – maybe add a “scan” attribute to the <property> tag which would add the property file to the Config watcher list.

Thanks!
