How to change the path for logging.file in (logback.xml) for UAT server?

I am trying to run a project on a UAT (Linux) server, but there is a problem, I need the logs to be written on the test server in a different path.

The project resources contain logback.xml, which specifies where to write logs:

<property name = "logging.path" value = "/logs"/>
<property name = "logging.file" value = "app-logger"/>

I cannot change this file, because in this case everything is correct, but for UAT I created another logback.xml and put it not in the resources but in another directory, and when I run the jar file I want to specify that I need to take this one logback.xml

On UAT I execute this command

java -Xmx512M -jar /home/user/app/program/program-0.1.jar --logging.config = app/program/config/logback.xml

I got this error:

ERROR in ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender [RollingFile] - openFile (/logs/app-logger.log,true) call failed. java.io.FileNotFoundException: /logs/app-logger.log (No such file or directory)
        at org.springframework.boot.logging.logback.LogbackLoggingSystem.loadConfiguration (LogbackLoggingSystem.java:169)

So the second file logback.xml which I created is ignored and the one that lies in the resources is used. What am I doing wrong? How to put another logback.xml into Spring?

You can add in your required log directory to your environment specific properties file,
should be something like application.uat.properties. So you would add in something like LOG_DIR=path/to/directory

Once that is done add in '<property resource="application.${env}.properties"/>' to your logback.xml

And finally in your file appender , add '<file>${LOG_DIR}/serive.log</file>'
