Logback configuration via jvm argument

I found the solution

-Dlogging.config="C:\logbacs\logback.xml"

is working fine for me.

Updated because the previous answer was obsolete

If you're not using SpringBoot the above won't work.

I'm using the ch.qos.logback.logback-classic library, and in this case the solution is

-Dlogback.configurationFile=file:/app/logback.xml

I've found this property in ch.qos.logback.classic.util.ContextInitializer:

final public static String CONFIG_FILE_PROPERTY = "logback.configurationFile"
