how to properly config my application logging?

hey guys. i have java spring app. and on the server its running as a service. heres my application123.service:

[Unit]
Description=application123
After=syslog.target
[Service]
User=appl
Environment="JAVA_OPTS=-Xmx128m"
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/application123-1.0.jar --spring.config.location=/etc/spring/ --spring.config.name=application123
SuccessExitStatus=143
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

[Unit]
Description=application123
After=syslog.target
[Service]
User=appl
Environment="JAVA_OPTS=-Xmx128m"
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/application123-1.0.jar --spring.config.location=/etc/spring/ --spring.config.name=application123
SuccessExitStatus=143
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Now when this service runs on the server, everything is logged to syslog. And the thing is that id want to log everything to separate file. smth like application123.log. so my question is should i edit my application123.service file, or should i edit application.yaml file? thanks

Do you want the location where stuff is logged to to be a part of the application or part of the deployment? Also note that you can just do journalctl -u application123 to get the logs

but i can just add

StandardOutput=file:/var/log/application123 .log
StandardError=file:/var/log/application123 .log

StandardOutput=file:/var/log/application123 .log
StandardError=file:/var/log/application123 .log

to my .service file, right?

Are you sure you want the space before .log?
