------------------------------------
Summary: Allow to easily add fields with fixed values to JSON
output
Key: LOG4J2-1694
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1694
Project: Log4j 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Layouts
Reporter: Raimar Falke
The Logback JSON Encoder has a feature which allows to specify JSON fields with
fixed values. Link:
https://github.com/logstash/logstash-logback-encoder#loggingevent_custom_global
Example:
{noformat}
<encoder class="net.logstash.logback.encoder.LogstashEncoder">
<customFields>{"appname":"myWebservice","roles":["customerorder","auth"],"buildinfo":{"version":"Version
0.1.0-SNAPSHOT","lastcommit":"75473700d5befa953c45f630c6d9105413c16fe1"}}</customFields>
</encoder>
{noformat}
This is a very convenient way to specify fixed attributes like application,
service or environment.
So far I don't see such a possibility in log4j.
