@Plugin(name="ESJsonLayout", category="Core", elementType="layout", printObject=true) public class ESJsonLayout extends org.apache.logging.log4j.core.layout.AbstractStringLayout
Formats log events as strings in a json format.

The class is wrapping the PatternLayout with a pattern to format into json. This gives more flexibility and control over how the log messages are formatted in JsonLayout There are fields which are always present in the log line:

  • type - the type of logs. These represent appenders and help docker distinguish log streams.
  • timestamp - ISO8601 with additional timezone ID
  • level - INFO, WARN etc
  • component - logger name, most of the times class name
  • cluster.name - taken from sys:es.logs.cluster_name system property because it is always set
  • node.name - taken from NodeNamePatternConverter, as it can be set in runtime as hostname when not set in elasticsearch.yml
  • node_and_cluster_id - in json as node.id and cluster.uuid - taken from NodeAndClusterIdConverter and present once clusterStateUpdate is first received
  • message - a json escaped message. Multiline messages will be converted to single line with new line explicitly replaced to \n
  • exceptionAsJson - in json as a stacktrace field. Only present when throwable is passed as a parameter when using a logger. Taken from JsonThrowablePatternConverter

It is possible to add more or override them with esmessagefield appender.logger.layout.esmessagefields=message,took,took_millis,total_hits,types,stats,search_type,total_shards,source,id Each of these will be expanded into a json field with a value taken ESLogMessage field. In the example above ... "message": %ESMessageField{message}, "took": %ESMessageField{took} ... the message passed to a logger will be overriden with a value from %ESMessageField{message}

The value taken from %ESMessageField{message} has to be a simple escaped JSON value and is populated in subclasses of ESLogMessage
