Andrei Ivanov created LOG4J2-2421: ------------------------------------- Summary: AbstractEventLogger.logEvent doesn't check for missing required context attributes Key: LOG4J2-2421 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2421 Project: Log4j 2 Issue Type: Bug Components: Log4j-Audit Affects Versions: Log4j-Audit 1.0.0 Reporter: Andrei Ivanov
Logging an event through {{LogEventFactory$AuditProxy}} validates the missing required context attributes: {noformat} org.apache.logging.log4j.catalog.api.exception.ConstraintValidationException: Event cashPaymentIn has errors : ThreadContext does not contain required key userName at org.apache.logging.log4j.audit.LogEventFactory$AuditProxy.invoke(LogEventFactory.java:294) ~[log4j-audit-api-1.0.0.jar:1.0.0] {noformat} Trying the same through the {{AuditLogger}}, as the {{AuditController}} does, doesn't trigger the same validation and the event gets through with a payload like this, partially adapted from the samples: {code:json} { "eventName": "CashPaymentIn", "requestContextMap": {"loginId": "rgoers", "corpAccountNumber": "12345", "ipAddress": "127.0.0.1"}, "properties": {"salesTransaction": "52913b24-2459-416d-803d-e686e63761d0", "currency": "EUR", "amount": "100.00"}} {code} As far as I see in [AbstractEventLogger|https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j-audit/blob/master/log4j-audit/log4j-audit-api/src/main/java/org/apache/logging/log4j/audit/AbstractEventLogger.java#L182], the validation of present {{requestContextAttributes}} starts, but there is no check to see if the required ones are present in the {{ThreadContext}}. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
