[jira] [Commented] (LOG4J2-1442) Add generic HTTP verb appender

["Matt Sicker (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1442?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15738385#comment-15738385 ] 

Matt Sicker commented on LOG4J2-1442:
-------------------------------------

After using Elasticsearch at work lately, I've found that having the ability to directly append (using the bulk add API) log events to ES would be nicer than having to add Logstash into the mix. Some work may have to be done at enhancing the JsonLayout or some way to specify custom JSON layouts, but I've seen that feature request elsewhere as well.

> Inspired by [this mailing list post|http://apache-logging.6191.n7.nabble.com/Custom-appender-needed-to-HTTP-POST-log-msgs-td52921.html]. This would in one swoop support various APIs such as:
> * Slack and other ChatOps software
> * ElasticSearch
> * ...I'm sure there's more
> Basic features that would be needed are:
> * HTTP verb
> * headers
> * body
