Mikael Ståldal commented on LOG4J2-2020:
----------------------------------------
I don't think that's layout is very useful together with KafkaAppender. I think
that you want something like GelfLayout, JsonLayout or (heaven forbid)
SerializedLayout.
Similar to JmsAppender, which now has no default.
> Remove default layout from KafkaAppender

> Key: LOG4J2-2020
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2020
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Appenders
> Affects Versions: 2.8.2
> Reporter: Mikael Ståldal
> Assignee: Mikael Ståldal
> Fix For: 2.9
>
>
> If you don't specify any layout to KafkaAppender, it will simply include the
> log message as payload. This is not very useful and inconsistent with how
> other appenders work.
> It's better if there is no default layout for KafkaAppender, as will be the
> case for SocketAppender and JmsAppeder now when LOG4J2-1958 is done.
