GitHub user amosshi created a discussion: JSON Template Layout - logger - only the class name without the package
In the [JSON Template Layout document](https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/json-template-layout.html#event-template-resolver-pattern) it reads: > If you find yourself using pattern, it is highly likely you are either doing > something wrong, or JSON Template Layout needs some improvement. ### The Problem In today, JSON Template Layout has no way to generate logger Class Name **without the Java package** ``` logger event template grammar config = "field" -> ( "name" | "fqcn" ) ``` Well usually the Java package is too long and we want to skip it to save disk space, especially for a high traffic data center. ### The Pattern Solution In Pattern layout we can achieve it easily via `"%c{1}` , while there is no such option in JSON Template Layout unfortunately. ```json "logger": { "$resolver": "pattern", "pattern": "%c{1}", } ``` ### The Idea How about add a new option for logger, like `shortName`, which only generate the class name without the package.
