Trenton, What version of CAS are you on? When we were on 5.2, we had a line in our cas.properties which made the logging all on one line: cas.audit.useSingleLine=true However, since having gone to CAS 5.3, that property seems to have gone away. I've yet to dig into log4j2.xml to get the same result: one line log entries. It does make audits much easier. If you're still on 5.2 that property should take care of you.
