title: spring-boot default log location
body: <p>In a <code>spring-boot</code> application I can specify a custom log file with</p>
  
  <p><code>java -jar spring-boot-app.jar --logging.file=/home/ubuntu/spring-boot-app.log</code></p>
  
  <p>But if I don't specify one, where does it go? </p>
  
  <p>I couldn't find it in any of the following folders:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/tmp/
  /var/log/
  ~/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I do <strong>not</strong> have <code>spring-boot-starter-logging</code> or any additional logging dependencies.</p>
  
  <p>I was hoping to have something similar to <code>catalina.out</code> since the default configuration runs an embedded Tomcat:</p>
  
  <pre><code>INFO 10374 --- [main] s.b.c.e.t.TomcatEmbeddedServletContainer : Tomcat initialized with port(s): 8100 (http)
  </code></pre>
