Hi,
Finally I used a log4j file appender which produces json data.
https://github.com/logstash/log4j-jsonevent-layout
It produces json event that logstash can directly eat in json_event format.
To insert some custom fields, I search the "@fields" attribute in json and
I replace it with my custom fields.
Thanks for the tip
Mika
