--------------------------------------
Summary: Support agentless logging to Datadog
Key: LOG4J2-3197
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3197
Project: Log4j 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Layouts
Affects Versions: 2.14.1
Reporter: Mikael Ståldal
Assignee: Volkan Yazici
The documentation for Datadog contains information on how to setup Log4j 2 to
send logs to Datadog. However, for the agentless configuration, it says its not
possible with Log4j 2 and resorts to bridging to Logback:
[https://docs.datadoghq.com/logs/log_collection/java/?tab=log4j2#agentless-logging]
The problem is that the JSON formatted log events needs to be prefixed with an
API key (outside of the JSON structure). This is possible with Logback, but
supposedly not with Log4j 2.
This configuration is arguably a bit strange, but it would be good if Log4j 2
could support it, since it is likely a relevant use case.
