You can use a different layout and log to an additional appender which can easily be read by log4j like Serialized.

I want to replay the log that can be turned into certain domain objects. I am interested to read the log file knowing the pattern layout into a Collection or Stream of LogEvent using Apache Log4j 2? I understand that LogEvent may be an overkill for such purpose and potentially simple string processing per line would do the job. Just want to make sure we can take advantage of an existing API if any. Thanks, Behrooz
