Configure logback using several profiles

Question

I´m trying to split my logback.xml by profiles under springboot, this my approach:

logback-prod.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<include resource="org/springframework/boot/logging/logback/defaults.xml" />
<property name="LOG_FILE" value="${LOG_FILE:-${LOG_PATH:-${LOG_TEMP:- ${java.io.tmpdir:-/tmp}}/}spring.log}"/>
<include resource="org/springframework/boot/logging/logback/file- appender.xml" />

<root level="INFO">
    <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE" />
</root>
</configuration> 

logback-dev.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<include resource="org/springframework/boot/logging/logback/defaults.xml" />
<include resource="org/springframework/boot/logging/logback/console-appender.xml" />

<root level="DEBUG">
    <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE" />
</root>

logback.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<include resource="logback-${spring.profiles.active}.xml"/>

<root level="INFO">
    <appender-ref ref="FILE" />
    <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE" />
</root>

And finally use:

-Dspring.profiles.active=dev
 or
-Dspring.profiles.active=prod

I got in console:

13:01:44,673 |-ERROR in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.spi.Interpreter@2:16 - no  applicable action for [configuration], current ElementPath  is [[configuration][configuration]]
13:01:44,674 |-ERROR in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.spi.Interpreter@3:81 - no applicable action for [include], current ElementPath  is [[configuration][configuration][include]]

Spring boot documentation recommends to use logback-spring.xml rather than logback.xml and in it you can use spring profile tag:

<configuration>
  <springProfile name="workspace">
    ...
  </springProfile>
  <springProfile name="dev,prd">
    ...
  </springProfile>
</configuration>
