| * Dependency the toolkit, such as using maven or gradle |
| ```xml |
| <dependency> |
| <groupId>org.apache.skywalking</groupId> |
| <artifactId>apm-toolkit-logback-1.x</artifactId> |
| <version>{project.release.version}</version> |
| </dependency> |
| ``` |
| |
| * set `%tid` in `Pattern` section of logback.xml |
| ```xml |
| <appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender"> |
| <encoder class="ch.qos.logback.core.encoder.LayoutWrappingEncoder"> |
| <layout class="org.apache.skywalking.apm.toolkit.log.logback.v1.x.TraceIdPatternLogbackLayout"> |
| <Pattern>%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%tid] [%thread] %-5level %logger{36} -%msg%n</Pattern> |
| </layout> |
| </encoder> |
| </appender> |
| ``` |
| |
| * When you use `-javaagent` to active the sky-walking tracer, logback will output **traceId**, if it existed. If the tracer is inactive, the output will be `TID: N/A`. |
