Configure logback using several profiles
<p>I´m trying to split my logback.xml by profiles under springboot, this my approach:</p>

<p><strong>logback-prod.xml</strong></p>

<pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
&lt;configuration&gt;
&lt;include resource="org/springframework/boot/logging/logback/defaults.xml" /&gt;
&lt;property name="LOG_FILE" value="${LOG_FILE:-${LOG_PATH:-${LOG_TEMP:- ${java.io.tmpdir:-/tmp}}/}spring.log}"/&gt;
&lt;include resource="org/springframework/boot/logging/logback/file- appender.xml" /&gt;

&lt;root level="INFO"&gt;
    &lt;appender-ref ref="CONSOLE" /&gt;
&lt;/root&gt;
&lt;/configuration&gt; 
</code></pre>

<p><strong>logback-dev.xml</strong></p>

<pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
&lt;configuration&gt;
&lt;include resource="org/springframework/boot/logging/logback/defaults.xml" /&gt;
&lt;include resource="org/springframework/boot/logging/logback/console-appender.xml" /&gt;

&lt;root level="DEBUG"&gt;
    &lt;appender-ref ref="CONSOLE" /&gt;
&lt;/root&gt;
</code></pre>

<p></p>

<p><strong>logback.xml</strong></p>

<pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
&lt;configuration&gt;
&lt;include resource="logback-${spring.profiles.active}.xml"/&gt;

&lt;root level="INFO"&gt;
    &lt;appender-ref ref="FILE" /&gt;
    &lt;appender-ref ref="CONSOLE" /&gt;
&lt;/root&gt;
</code></pre>

<p></p>

<p>And finally use: </p>

<pre><code>-Dspring.profiles.active=dev
 or
-Dspring.profiles.active=prod
</code></pre>

<p>I got in console:</p>

<pre><code>13:01:44,673 |-ERROR in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.spi.Interpreter@2:16 - no  applicable action for [configuration], current ElementPath  is [[configuration][configuration]]
