Configuration

Klogging starts with no configuration and will not send any log events. You configure Klogging using either:

• in code using the Configuration domain-specific language
• using from a JSON or HOCON configuration file.

You can also override some configuration by setting Environment variables.

How Klogging finds configuration files

Klogging follows these steps for finding configuration files:

1. If the environment variable KLOGGING_CONFIG_PATH is set, look for a file at that absolute path. Load the contents if found.
2. If the environment variable is not set or the specified file is not found, search the classpath: for klogging.json and load the contents if found; otherwise for klogging.conf and load the contents if found.

Once a file has been found, attempt to interpret it as JSON or HOCON.
