GitHub user ppkarwasz added a comment to the discussion: Is using %uuid{RANDOM} pattern in JsonTemplateLayout considered garbage-free?
**BTW**: Using `%uuid` as value for [logging.googleapis.com/insertId](https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/reference/v2/rest/v2/LogEntry#FIELDS.insert_id) does not fulfill the **unicity** requirement from the documentation: > _Optional_. A unique identifier for the log entry. If you provide a value, > then Logging considers other log entries in the same project, with the same > timestamp, and with the same `insertId` to be duplicates which are removed in > a single query result. However, there are no guarantees of de-duplication in > the export of logs. > If the `insertId` is omitted when writing a log entry, the Logging API > assigns its own unique identifier in this field. The same log event, delivered by different appenders will have different UUIDs. See #3503 for a discussion.
