jul-jsonformatter

Formatter to log java.util.logging(JUL) messages as JSON, compatible with Logstash

Usage

• Include any one of Gson, Jackson or json-simple libraries in classpath
• Include a logging.properties file in classpath with io.github.devatherock.json.formatter.JSONFormatter as the formatter

handlers=java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler

java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level=INFO
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter=io.github.devatherock.json.formatter.JSONFormatter

The path to the logging.properties file can also be passed as JVM arg like -Djava.util.logging.config.file=/path/to/logging.properties

Samples

Each line in the generated log will be a JSON. Sample one line message:

{
    "@timestamp": "2018-09-30T08:00:17.632-05:00",
    "logger_name": "io.github.devatherock.json.formatter.helpers.GSONFormatterTest",
    "level": "INFO",
    "thread_name": "Test worker",
    "class": "io.github.devatherock.json.formatter.helpers.GSONFormatterTest",
    "method": "testSimpleMessage",
    "message": "First message"
}

Multi-line message:

{
    "@timestamp": "2018-09-30T08:00:17.654-05:00",
    "logger_name": "io.github.devatherock.json.formatter.helpers.GSONFormatterTest",
    "level": "INFO",
    "thread_name": "Test worker",
    "class": "io.github.devatherock.json.formatter.helpers.GSONFormatterTest",
    "method": "testMessageWithNewLine",
    "message": "Next message\n"
}

Message with exception:
