Disable structured logging

Last updated: July 14, 2025

Liquibase uses structured JSON logs by default. To revert to traditional text-based logs, you can disable structured logging by explicitly setting the --log-format parameter to TEXT, rather than JSON.

Procedure

1

Open your liquibase.properties file.

2

Add in the log-format property.

Adding --log-format=TEXT to your liquibase.properties file sets the log format for every command you run.

log-format=TEXT
