>From the "ex|exception|throwable" section of the log4j2 2.x manual <https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/layouts.html#PatternLayout> , it claims: "Use {filters(packages)} where packages is a list of package names to suppress matching stack frames from stack traces."
However, this feature doesn't seem to be implemented for %ex, only %xEx and %rEx. I was able to easily reproduce this. Looking at the %xEx and %rEx implementing classes, they both reference ThrowableFormatOptions.getIgnorePackages(), as expected: ExtendedThrowablePatternConverter.java <https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/blob/release-2.x/log4j-core/src/main/java/org/apache/logging/log4j/core/pattern/ExtendedThrowablePatternConverter.java#L74> RootThrowablePatternConverter.java <https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/blob/release-2.x/log4j-core/src/main/java/org/apache/logging/log4j/core/pattern/RootThrowablePatternConverter.java#L71> but the %ex class has no references to the ignorePackages option: ThrowablePatternConverter.java <https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/blob/release-2.x/log4j-core/src/main/java/org/apache/logging/log4j/core/pattern/ThrowablePatternConverter.java> Are there plans to implement this feature in the %ex pattern? Is it generally recommended to use %rEx or %xEx instead? Thanks, Damien
