[jira] [Comment Edited] (LOG4J2-908) JSONLayout doesn't add a comma
between log events
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-908?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15076239#comment-15076239 ]

----------------------------------------------------------
I see your point. In that question, the solution is to use a json_lines codec, which effectively requires each log event to be sent individually. If you send a stream of json events in batch mode, logstash will not process them. But there is another logstash codec for json streams, which processes an array of comma delimited elements. The first codec requires an EOL and the second codec requires commas.
I'm not sure whether logstash can process a json object itself, i.e., an array wrapped in []. If it can, I expect it to require the json_lines codec and the format would probably need to look like:
[{event}]
[{event}]
as opposed to
[
{event},
{event}
]
Not knowing is why I was asking about the semantic difference between a stream of json objects, i.e., [{}][{}]..., vs. an array of elements in a json object, i.e., [{},{},...]. If there is none, then finding a format that works in batch mode is preferred.
