Logback logging maven multi-module

I'm developing an application made of multiple modules that will be deployed on wildfly 13. One of these modules is using another of my project as a jar maven dependency.(included to pom)
Expectation
I want my dependency using its own logback.xml to log in its own file. And I want the application using its own logback.xml file to log in the console and a separate file than the dependency.
What it does now
For the moment both the application module (com.test.app.console.ca.operation)
which include the jar dependency and the dependency use the dependency's logback.xml and everything is logged in the same file. This is very strange to me because of other modules from the main application (which dont have dependecy from the library jar), are correctly logging in the right file.
Could please help me to understand and solve this problem?
Details about the projects
Both use logback as a logger. The dependency is a security implementation that logs communication information in a file that must be in a separate file than application logs. Both the application and the dependency have a classic maven structure with the logback.xml file inside the resource folder.

How to set up two different log levels for two appenders via logback.xml in spring boot app?

I have some problem with logback.xml configuration. I want that console-appender write into console only info events and file-appender write into file with debug level.My current config looks like this :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<property name="LOG_PATH" value="applogs"/>
<appender name="FILE_DAILY" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
<rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
<!-- daily rollover -->
<fileNamePattern>${LOG_PATH}/News_App_MRM.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log</fileNamePattern>
<!-- keep 30 days' worth of history capped at 3GB total size -->
<maxHistory>30</maxHistory>
<totalSizeCap>3GB</totalSizeCap>
</rollingPolicy>
<encoder>
<pattern>%-4relative [%thread] %-5level %logger{35} - %msg%n</pattern>
</encoder>
</appender>
<appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
<!-- encoders are assigned the type
ch.qos.logback.classic.encoder.PatternLayoutEncoder by default -->
<encoder>
<pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%thread] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n</pattern>
</encoder>
</appender>
<root level="info">
<appender-ref ref="STDOUT"/>
<appender-ref ref="FILE_DAILY"/>
</root>
</configuration>

You have to define a logger like this
<logger name="org.hibernate" level="INFO" additivity="false">
<appender-ref ref="STDOUT"/>
</logger>
With this, all logs coming from org.hibernate will be logged on a INFO level.
You can then specify an appender for each logger.

Using logback, debug messages are still being logged though root level is set to "Error"

I have a project which has recently migrated from log4j to slf4j and logback. the root level is set to "Error", however, logs from third party libraries are still being logged at debug level.
Anyone has managed to solve this ?
Logback.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender" additivity="false">
<file>${catalina.home}/logs/database.log</file>
<encoder>
<pattern>%5p %d{HH:mm:ss}[%thread] %-5level %logger{5} - %msg%n</pattern>
</encoder>
<rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
<FileNamePattern>logFile.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log</FileNamePattern>
</rollingPolicy>
</appender>
<appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender" additivity="false">
<!-- encoders are assigned the type
ch.qos.logback.classic.encoder.PatternLayoutEncoder by default -->
<encoder>
<pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%thread] %-5level %logger{5} - %msg%n</pattern>
</encoder>
</appender>
<root level="ERROR">
<appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
<appender-ref ref="FILE" />
</root>
</configuration>

Adding timestamp to a log file using Logback-test.xml

Currently my Spring-boot application logs to a file named: myLog.log, this is working as intended, however I would like the log file to have a timestamp at the end of it and create a new file each time it is ran.
I have tried to implement this in my logback-test.xml file shown below, but it is just giving me the filename: myLog.log without a timestamp.
How can I fix this?
Logback-test.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<include resource="org/springframework/boot/logging/logback/base.xml"/>
<logger name="org.springframework.web" level="INFO"/>
<!-- Send debug messages to System.out -->
<appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
<!-- By default, encoders are assigned the type ch.qos.logback.classic.encoder.PatternLayoutEncoder -->
<encoder>
<pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} - %msg%n</pattern>
</encoder>
</appender>
<appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
<file>path/to/my/file/mylog.log</file>
<encoder class="ch.qos.logback.classic.encoder.PatternLayoutEncoder">
<Pattern>%d{yyyy-MM-dd_HH:mm:ss.SSS} - %msg%n</Pattern>
</encoder>
<rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.FixedWindowRollingPolicy">
<FileNamePattern>mylog.%i{yyyy-MM-dd_HH:mm:ss.SSS}}.log</FileNamePattern>
<MinIndex>1</MinIndex>
<MaxIndex>10</MaxIndex>
</rollingPolicy>
<triggeringPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy">
<MaxFileSize>2MB</MaxFileSize>
</triggeringPolicy>
</appender>
<logger name="com.my.package" level="INFO" additivity="false">
<appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
<appender-ref ref="FILE" />
</logger>
<!-- By default, the level of the root level is set to DEBUG -->
<root level="INFO">
<appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
</root>
</configuration>

You can define a variable like this:
<timestamp key="myTimestamp" datePattern="yyyy-MM-dd'_'HH-mm-ss.SSS"/>
(note: don't use colons in datePattern)
Then use it directly in your appender's file element:
<appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
<file>path/to/my/file/mylog-${myTimestamp}.log</file>
...
</appender>
Or in a simple FileAppender:
<appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender">
<file>path/to/my/file/mylog-${myTimestamp}.log</file>
<encoder>
<Pattern>%d{yyyy-MM-dd_HH:mm:ss.SSS} - %msg%n</Pattern>
</encoder>
</appender>

how to print logback internal errors and status logs?

I am using logback api and have a logback.xml in my classpath which looks like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<configuration scan="true">
<contextListener class="ch.qos.logback.classic.jul.LevelChangePropagator">
<resetJUL>true</resetJUL>
</contextListener>
<appender class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender" name="STDOUT">
<encoder>
<pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%thread] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n</pattern>
</encoder>
</appender>
<appender class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender" name="FILE">
<file>/${path}/logs/application.log</file>
<rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.FixedWindowRollingPolicy">
<fileNamePattern>/${path}/logs/application.%i.log</fileNamePattern>
</rollingPolicy>
<triggeringPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy">
<maxFileSize>50MB</maxFileSize>
</triggeringPolicy>
<encoder>
<pattern>%date %level [%thread] %logger{10} [%file:%line] %msg%n</pattern>
</encoder>
</appender>
<!-- ~~~ PERFORMANCE TRACKING LOGGER CONFIGURATION (USING PERF4J) || END ||~~~
-->
<logger name="com.nucleus">
<level value="DEBUG"/>
<!-- <appender-ref ref="STDOUT" /> -->
<appender-ref ref="FILE"/>
</logger>
<logger level="DEBUG" name="org.hibernate.transaction.JDBCTransaction"/>
<logger level="DEBUG" name="org.hibernate.jdbc.ConnectionManager"/>
<logger level="DEBUG" name="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager"/>
<!-- <root level="info">
<appender-ref ref="FILE" />
</root> -->
</configuration>
Now the rollback that i have implemented is not working in the production environment only. I wish to debug the same and hence want to put a trace for this logback api. Can anyone suggest what i might be doing wrong or what should i do to resolve this issue?

From Logback 1.0.4 you can use system property -Dlogback.debug=true to enable debugging of your Logback setup which will allow you to debug your configuration.
