-------------------------------------
Assignee: Volkan Yazici
> log4j2 JsonLayout: In log message, Object is logged as escaped Json
> -------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LOG4J2-3025
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3025
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Layouts
> Affects Versions: 2.11.2
> Reporter: Dee Vinci
> Assignee: Volkan Yazici
> Priority: Major
>
> Our organization is using log4j2 version 2.11.2 and xml based configuration,
> also we are using Elk Stack for further log processing.
> We are trying to move from PatternLayout to Json Layout but facing 2 issues:
> 1.) In Json Layout the object logged in message is logged as escaped json,
> logging just a simple string works fine, also in PatternLayout proper json is
> logged
> ----
> Log logged in Json Layout:

> Expected message is unescaped json, similar to Pattern Layout
>

> {code:java}
> Logging testDto {"name":"testName","address":"testAddress","age":24}

> ----
> As per docs have used

> in JsonLayout configuration property but message is still logged as escaped
> json.

> Logs of Diff level are logged in different files, following is the snippet of

> 2.) In Pattern Layout while logging, the prefix string of some of the logs
> was truncated so we had added {{%.-60000m%}} in pattern Layout configuration
> so that the beginning of log message is not truncated. Do we have a similar
> plugin or workaround in Json Layout.
> need to resolve this as early as possible so kindly revert in case of any
> lead or any extra information needed so that we can resolve this
> Thanks.
