Spring Cloud Config How to retrieve logback-spring.xml from config client?

I have placed logback-spring.xml together with application.yaml in centralised git repository. I have successfully configured config server and config client for retrieval of application.yaml. I have also verified that config server is serving logback-spring.xml through the plain text API.

Question: how can I configure config client to retrieve the logback-spring.xml via config server?

I tried with logging.config=http://config.example.com/appA/prod/develop/logback-spring.xml and it worked. But this is plain spring boot functionality. When I modified logback-spring.xml in git repository, it did not refresh automatically at config client, which I really want to. In the same way as for application.yaml.

Related to my question is the autoscan functionality in logback. See this JIRA issue: https://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1309

Would be also good to have possibility to use config discovery service-id to locate config server not only domain.

@belon your comment is unrelated to this issue and already a feature http://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-static/Dalston.SR1/#discovery-first-bootstrap

@ismarslomic there is no functionality to do as you described.

Have you solved this problem now? I have face to same problem and find no way to solve it. I try to use the spring.cloud.config.name to specify the logback-spring.xml’ name, but it does not worked, and it occurs a problem that

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to load property source from location 'file:/D:/others/test/configBack/qing-cloud-m1-config/logback-spring.xml'

this is my config-client's bootstrap.yml

#config
spring.cloud.config.name=qing-cloud-m1-config-client,logback-spring
spring.cloud.config.profile=default
spring.cloud.config.label=master
#spring.cloud.config.uri=http://myConfigServer.com:8095/

#开通服务名来访问config-server
spring.cloud.config.discovery.enabled=true
#config-server的服务名
spring.cloud.config.discovery.service-id=qing-cloud-m1-config-server

#log
#logging.config=http://localhost:8095/*/default/master/logback-spring.xml

eureka.client.serviceUrl.defaultZone=http://admin:admin@localhost:7001/eureka/

this is my logback-spring.xml
