Mikael Ståldal commented on LOG4J2-667:
---------------------------------------
I would say that the purpose of the JsonLayout in Log4j is to provide the log
event in a format which is standardized by Log4j. If we start to add a lot of
customization options, I am afraid that we will end up with something which is
either hard to maintain or inefficient. (Same goes for and CsvLogEventLayout,
XmlLayout, YamlLayout and SerializedLayout.)
If you want a custom format, we provide PatternLayout and the possibility to
develop your own Layout plugin.
We do also provide some layouts for logging formats defined elsewhere:
GelfLayout, SyslogLayout, RFC5424Layout. (If you miss any such format, feel
free to suggest that we add a Layout for it.)
If you want a JSON based format for a multi-language micro-services world,
maybe try GelfLayout?

> I really like the JSON Layout feature as it's easily parsed by splunk. I
> would like to see more customization on the type of information that's
> included in each json message, similar to the Pattern Layout such as MDC and
> NDC, the locations etc.
