    <artifactId>log4j2-custom-layout</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.0</version>

Configuration

Environment

set environment for kafka json logging

LogEnvironment.Builder.build("127.0.0.1","9099","yourApplicationName");

Custom Console Layout

add layout to your appender

  <Console name="customConsole">
    <CustomConsoleLayout></CustomConsoleLayout>
  </Console>

example logging

09-10-2018 01:32:55:746 INFO [main] org.ivandzf.logging.Application - Started Application in 2.483 seconds (JVM running for 3.981)

Custom Json Layout

console json

<Console name="customJsonLayout">
  <CustomJsonLayout></CustomJsonLayout>
</Console>

or kafka logging json

<Kafka name="kafkaAppender" topic="your_topic">
  <CustomJsonLayout></CustomJsonLayout>
  <Property name="bootstrap.servers">http://your_kafka_server</Property>
</Kafka>

example logging output json

{"applicationName":"logging-test","ipAddress":"127.0.0.1","port":"9099","level":"INFO","thread":"main","threadId":1,"loggerName":"org.ivandzf.logging.Application","message":"Started Application in 1.81 seconds (JVM running for 3.096)"}

add hideEnvironmentWhenNull=”false” for show all message when ipAddress/port/applicationName is not set

<Console name="customJsonLayout">
  <CustomJsonLayout hideEnvironmentWhenNull="false"></CustomJsonLayout>
</Console>

Custom Message Json

just inject object CustomMessage in your message log

List<String> strings = new ArrayList<>();
strings.add("1");
strings.add("2");
List<Integer> integers = new ArrayList<>();
integers.add(1);
integers.add(2);
Map<String, String> stringMap = new HashMap<>();
stringMap.put("string key", "string value");
Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<>();
map.put("test key", "test value");
map.put("test key list strings", strings);
map.put("test key list integers", integers);
map.put("test key map", stringMap);
map.put("test key boolean", true);
log.debug(CustomMessage.builder().message("test custom debug log").newField(map).build().toJson());

then the result is

{"applicationName":"logging-test","ipAddress":"127.0.0.1","port":"9099","level":"DEBUG","thread":"qtp1688150025-32","threadId":32,"loggerName":"org.ivandzf.logging.Application","message":"test custom debug log","test key map":"{\"string key\":\"string value\"}","test key boolean":true,"test key list integers":"[1.0,2.0]","test key":"test value","test key list strings":"[\"1\",\"2\"]"}

Kafka Logging on Kibana

logstash config

input {
    kafka { 
        topics => ["your_topic"] 
        bootstrap_servers => "your_kafka_server"
        codec => "json" 
    }
}
