[jira] [Updated] (LOG4J2-2936) Add message parameters in JsonLayout
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2936?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Diego Pettisani updated LOG4J2-2936:
------------------------------------
Description:
By using the JsonLayout the following call:
{code:java}
String invoiceNo = "A12345";
long duration = 3999l;
LOGGER.info("Invoice {} elaborated in {} milliseconds", invoceNo, duration);{code}
will produce something like this:
{code:json}
{ // ...
"message" : "Invoice A12345 elaborated in 3999 milliseconds"
// ...
}{code}
And for extracting the {{invoceNo}} and {{duration}} values from a log collector tool (e.g. Elastic) it is needed to play with patterns and regex hard to maintain in the log shipper (e.g. Fluentd).
It could be very helpful to add a new boolean configuration property in the JsonLayout element in order to enable the printing of the message parameters as Json fields.
After enabled this new property (e.g. {{parameters=true}}), the output JSON should be something like this:
{code:json}
{ // ...
"message" : "Invoice A12345 elaborated in 3999 milliseconds"
"params" : {
"p0" : "A12345"
"p1" : "3999"
}
// ...
}{code}
In this way, it will be possible to extract that values very easily from the log collector tool, without implementing ad-hoc pattern/regex in the log shipper.
This feature could be especially useful for legacy code hard to change that uses SLF4J APIs for logging and some ad-hoc special configurations are needed for extracting useful data.
