configure logbook with NoSql appenders

[amr-fathi]

Hi,

So I'm still pretty new to logbook. And I would like to have it configured to dump log messages into a NoSQL (specifically mongodb) within a spring-boot application.

Accordingly, I added the following lines into my application.yml:

logbook:
     exclude:
        - /health
        - /admin/**
        - /swagger-ui.html
        - /swagger-resources/**
        - /webjars/**
        - /configuration/security/**
        - /swagger-resources/**
        - /configuration/ui/**
        - /v2/api-docs/**
        - /csrf/**
    filter.enabled: true
    format.style: http
    obfuscate:
        headers:
            - Authorization
            - X-Secret
        parameters:
            - access_token
            - password
    write:
        category: http.wire-log
        level: INFO
        chunk-size: 1000

and the following is how log4j2 is configured:

<Configuration monitorInterval="60">
    <Appenders>
        <NoSql name="databaseAppender">
          <MongoDb2 databaseName="****" collectionName="*****" server="localhost" port="27017" username="" password="" />
        </NoSql>
    </Appenders>
    <Loggers>
        <Logger name="org.apache.http.wire">
            <AppenderRef ref="databaseAppender"/>
        </Logger>
        <Root>
            <AppenderRef ref="databaseAppender"/>
        </Root>
    </Loggers>
</Configuration>

and the following is the list of related dependencies in my pom.xml:

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.4.RELEASE</version>
    <relativePath/> 
</parent>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb</artifactId>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.zalando</groupId>
        <artifactId>logbook-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
        <version>1.9.0</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
        <artifactId>log4j-mongodb2</artifactId>
        <version>2.11.1</version>
    </dependency>

I tried mixing and matching log levels and so, but nothing seems to work. No matter I do, logs are
directly dumped into console (STDOUT) and nothing goes to mongodb.

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance

Can you share your log4j2.xml?
