Hi everybody, we are using the log4j2 json appender to generate json logs which will be used in graylog. The JSON layout doesn’t fit perfectly for us, and I tried to create our own JSON by using the RollingRandomAccessFile appender with the patternLayout and the JSON encoding function. This fits very good for us, but I am not able to create a field thrown_name, like in the JSON appender.
Example of JSON Appender: Field name: thrown_extendedStackTrace Value: org.springframework.beans.FatalBeanException; ......... <the whole stacktrace> Field name: thrown_name Value: org.springframework.beans.FatalBeanException It is no problem to generate the whole stacktrace in patternlayout using this code snippet: enc{%throwable}{JSON} But how to generate a field which only includes the thrown_name of the exception?
