Is your proposal related to a problem?

Cloudwatch doesn't support color logging which makes it more difficult to read. My logs currently look like this [30m2024-03-15 16:48:08,793[0;39m [39mDEBUG[0;39m [[34mparallel-2[0;39m] [33mc.p.k.u.s.ClustersStatisticsScheduler[0;39m: Start getting metrics for

Currently, adjusting logging properties is kinda complicated for an end user, which has to configure logback via an external file. TODO:

1. Think about better ways to provide customization capabilities for logback without a need to provide external files

We're deploying this on Google Kubernetes Engine, which also doesn't support colored output.

The root cause is the custom logback-spring.xml, which I don't think is necessary.

I've tried working around it with setting an environment variable: LOGGING_CONFIG=/etc/kafkaui/logback-cloud.xml

And providing a logback config with an uncolored pattern:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
        <encoder>
            <pattern>%d{ISO8601} %-5level %t %c{1}: %msg%n%throwable</pattern>
        </encoder>
    </appender>
    <root level="info">
        <appender-ref ref="STDOUT"/>
    </root>
</configuration>

But that doesn't work, I assume it's because the logback-spring.xml is still there?

logback-spring.xml, which I don't think is necessary.

It is needed, at least for a fact that our message format differs from a default one.

I've tried overriding logback config path via env var logging.config, works fine for me.
