For application logs, logback.groovy file isno longer supported by grails > 5.1.2 and needs to be replaced with logback.xml . The new logback file to be used on a deployed instance also needs to be added to the appropriate location in the ansible repo ala-install and the ansible task to copy it to the server needs to added accordingly.

The location of the logback.xml file also needs to be added to java options - this can be specified in the appropriate file in ansible-inventory.
