Yes, you're right, this is exactly what I want. If I use this %encode{%m}{JSON} notation, I only have the string "%encode" in my logfiles and not a the encoded message field. Do you have an idea why this happens?

This is useful for creating custom JSON structures as your output. If you just want structured log output in general, the JSON layout (requires Jackson) is your best bet.
