Re: [External] Re: How to encode %m or %ex ?
Yes, you're right, this is exactly what I want.
If I use this %encode{%m}{JSON} notation, I only have the string "%encode" in my logfiles and not a the encoded message field.
Do you have an idea why this happens?
On 25.01.18, 19:52, "Matt Sicker" <bo...@gmail.com> wrote:
Using %encode{%m}{JSON} will only encode the message so that it can be
placed inside a JSON string with escapes already added. This is useful for
creating custom JSON structures as your output. If you just want structured
log output in general, the JSON layout (requires Jackson) is your best bet.

Re: [External] Re: How to encode %m or %ex ?
Posted by Matt Sicker <bo...@gmail.com>.
The %encode{}{JSON} pattern was added in version 2.8.2. It doesn't appear
to be documented on the layout manual page, but the feature is mentioned in
the changelog for issue <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1848>.

We are using log4j2 2.7.
It's a hybris application and packaged with ant, or what do you want to know?
