   Why not use SLF4J instead of reinventing your own facade?
   As a developer of an internal plugin, I find it frustrating to be forced into using limited one-off implementations. In particular, I am sending managment server logs to ELK in a JSON format. With SLF4J, Logback with the [Logstash Logback Encoder](https://github.com/logstash/logstash-logback-encoder), I can use Markers to add event-specific custom fields wherever I want. This is very useful for searching and filtering logs in ELK, not to mention the potential that exists for visualization of log events based on custom JSON fields. I assume a similar thing can be done with SLF4J and log4j2, but I have not reasearched it much. But, if Cloudstack uses a homegrown facade, it will not have a full logging feature set available.
