# Deprecation of Coralogix Logback SDK

**Published**: February 16, 2026

**Effective**: June 30, 2026

## Deprecation notice[​](#deprecation-notice "Direct link to Deprecation notice")

Coralogix will deprecate the Coralogix Logback SDK on June 30, 2026.

[Coralogix Logback libraries](https://docs-docusaurus.kinsta.page/integrations/sdks/logback/.md) are deprecated in favor of [OpenTelemetry logging for Java](https://docs-docusaurus.kinsta.page/opentelemetry/instrumentation-options/java-opentelemetry-instrumentation/.md), which is now the recommended and supported approach for exporting logs and correlating them with traces to Coralogix.

Action is required to ensure continued support and compatibility.

## Why this is happening[​](#why-this-is-happening "Direct link to Why this is happening")

OpenTelemetry supports bridging logs from common Java logging frameworks into the OpenTelemetry Logs SDK, enabling consistent export via OTLP.

## What’s affected[​](#whats-affected "Direct link to What’s affected")

Coralogix Logback appender libraries are being deprecated.

These libraries may currently be used in:

* Java services using Logback where Coralogix appenders are configured in `logback.xml`
* Applications that configure Coralogix-specific credentials inside Logback appender configuration
* Build pipelines that package Coralogix Logback appender dependencies

After the effective date, these SDKs will no longer be supported or maintained.

### Migrate to OpenTelemetry logging for Logback[​](#migrate-to-opentelemetry-logging-for-logback "Direct link to Migrate to OpenTelemetry logging for Logback")

Replace [Coralogix Logback appenders](https://docs-docusaurus.kinsta.page/integrations/sdks/logback/.md) with an [OpenTelemetry-based approach](https://docs-docusaurus.kinsta.page/opentelemetry/instrumentation-options/java-opentelemetry-instrumentation/.md) and export via OTLP.

## What will happen after June 30, 2026?[​](#what-will-happen-after-june-30-2026 "Direct link to What will happen after June 30, 2026?")

* The Coralogix Logback SDK will no longer be supported.
* No bug fixes, updates, or security patches will be provided.
* Compatibility with newer Logback versions is not guaranteed.
* Support requests related to the deprecated SDK may be declined.
* Existing applications may continue to function, but migration is strongly recommended.
