-------------------------------------
Summary: Don't normalize event names
Key: LOG4J2-2579
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2579
Project: Log4j 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Log4j-Audit
Affects Versions: Log4j-Audit 1.0.1
Reporter: Andrei Ivanov
I've realized that it's a bit weird that event names are forcefully normalized
so I propose to remove this.
There are 2 ways to obtain/log an audit event:
1. {{org.apache.logging.log4j.audit.LogEventFactory#getEvent(Class<T>
intrface)}}, which accepts a Java interface and uses the simple name of that
interface as the event name
2. {{org.apache.logging.log4j.audit.AuditLogger#logEvent(String eventName,
Map<String, String> attributes)}}, which allows setting the event name as
{{String}}, and that name gets checked against the {{CatalogManager}}
I'm thinking that the normalization might have started as a way to make the
name obtained in the 1st case, as the 2nd case has maximum freedom to define
the event name to start with or without an upper case.
