# Deprecation of Coralogix Logback SDK

**Published**: February 16, 2026

**Effective**: June 30, 2026

## Deprecation notice

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

[Coralogix Logback libraries](https://coralogix.com/docs/integrations/sdks/logback/index.md) are deprecated in favor of [OpenTelemetry logging for Java](https://coralogix.com/docs/opentelemetry/instrumentation-options/java-opentelemetry-instrumentation/index.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

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

## 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.

## What you need to do

### Migrate to OpenTelemetry logging for Logback

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

## 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.
