log-file

To log execution details of any command, use the log-file parameter. The log-file parameter sends logging messages of what Liquibase does during runtime to a file.

If you want to set the log level for your log file, you need to specify the log-level along with the log-file parameter. If you don't specify the log-level parameter, the default log value will be severe.

Tip: All commands and parameters use the --kebab-case format in the CLI environment. This is the format Liquibase recommends for best results. If your preference is camelCase, it will still work in the CLI.

An example of running the log-file parameter

liquibase --log-level=debug --log-file=../the/path/to/my/logs update

An example of running both log-file and output-file parameters

To get the log and output information from a command, use the log-file and output-file parameters simultaneously:

liquibase --output-file=mysnapshot.json --log-level=debug --log-file=liquibase.log snapshot
