How to show access logs in console for Apollo Portal?

How to set the configurations or env vars to show access logs in console for Apollo Portal?
I tried:

server:
  tomcat:
    accesslog:
      enabled: true

With env var:
CATALINA_OUT=/dev/stdout
but without luck.

Apollo Portal uses Logback for application logs, which can be shown in the console, but Tomcat-style HTTP access logs (like method, URI, status) are not configured to appear in the console by default. The config you tried (server.tomcat.accesslog.enabled: true) is not present in the default application.yml, and there’s no custom code to redirect Tomcat access logs to stdout. By default, the Tomcat AccessLogValve writes to a file, not the console, and the CATALINA_OUT env var has no effect with embedded Tomcat in Spring Boot apps like Apollo Portal.

If you need access logs in the console, you’d have to customize the embedded Tomcat configuration programmatically to set the access log output stream to stdout, or use an external reverse proxy (like nginx) for access logging. Application logs (exceptions, business events, etc.) will appear in the console if you set the LOG_APPENDERS property to include CONSOLE in your environment or config, as defined in the Logback config source.

There’s no built-in way to show Tomcat access logs in the console for Apollo Portal out of the box.

To reply, just mention @dosu.
