Logging configuration for dropwizard to log everything into one file with custom log format - logback

Question

I'm using dropwizard 0.9.2 and had to upgrade jackson to 2.7.3 to make the following configuration at least starting:
server:
applicationConnectors:
- type: http
port: 8080
adminConnectors:
- type: http
port: 8081
requestLog:
timeZone: UTC
appenders:
- type: console
logFormat: "%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%thread] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n"
- type: file
currentLogFilename: ./logs/vrp-app.log
archivedLogFilenamePattern: ./logs/vrp-app.%d.log.gz
logFormat: "%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%thread] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n"
logging:
level: INFO
loggers:
"org.hibernate":
level: DEBUG
appenders:
- type: console
timeZone: UTC
logFormat: "%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%thread] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n"
- type: file
timeZone: UTC
currentLogFilename: ./logs/vrp-app.log
archivedLogFilenamePattern: ./logs/vrp-app.%d.log.gz
archivedFileCount: 5
logFormat: "%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%thread] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n"
But still the log format of the request log is different than the rest:
15:46:42.717 [main] INFO org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server - Started #3751ms
127.0.0.1 - - [14/Jun/2016:13:46:48 +0000] "GET /users HTTP/1.1" 415 56 "-" "curl/7.35.0" 136
Just keeping the "-type" lines in the hope that the config is picked from the logging section also does not work.
What am I doing wrong?
This should work according to this discussion
And is it okay to specify the same log for request log and 'normal log'. Why is this separated at all?

Answer 1

requestLog logFormat is not implemented for 0.9.2. You have to move to 1.0.0-rc3 (latest) dropwizard version.
And the formatting is bit different as specified in http://logback.qos.ch/access.html
