This is for Logback 0.9.27. When logging using DBAppender, The argument fields in the database table logging_event are filled using the arguments from the log statement when used in for example the debug(String format, Object[] arguments) format. For the case where I want to log with a throwable included that would land in the logging_event_exception table, there is no debug method that will take a format, argument array and throwable, so I can't log using a format and argument array and hence, all the argument fields (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3) are left blank in the logging_event table. Other than storing those arguments in the MDC for this case, is there another work around? Or am I just missing something simple?
