-If you want to disable the Tomcat access logging completely, e.g. for local development, you can set the following property:
+The library uses the standard tomcat accesslog property for enabling or disabling logging:
 ```yaml
-tomcat:
-  accesslog: disabled

-Set this property to 'enabled' or remove completely to enable Tomcat access logging.
