Spring Boot App crashes at startup - java.lang.IllegalStateException

Question

I am using EKS for the deployment of my Spring Boot App.

At startup, it crashes a couple of times, gets restarted by EKS, and finally starts serving requests.

Here are the logs: -

1. First two lines are warnings as per my research so far. they shouldn't cause the app to fail (let me know if I am wrong).

2. Application run failed and 4 Logback errors were printed: -

In Logback's TimeBasedRollingPolicy, there's a start() and stop() method.

When the stop() method is called, two async jobs are run. Compression job and Clean up job. The compression job threw InterruptedException and the clean-up job threw TimeoutException.

I have a few questions: -

1. I am not sure whether these Logback errors caused the app to crash or vice-versa
2. What invoked the stop() method of TimeBasedRollingPolicy
3. What interrupted the Compression job?

If you have any idea why this is happening, please let me know.

Thanks :)

Answer 1

It says "Logback configuration error detected". I would check your log configuration file to see if you have a typo in it.
