--------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for following up on my request at stackoverflow.com to open this. As
it stands the abbreviator will also support a pattern like \{1.1.*} which would
print "o.a.commons.Foo". Unfortunately if the package name was
"org.apache.logging.log4j.core.Foo" it would print "o.a.logging.log4j.core.Foo"
so it doesn't really accomplish what you want. I would suggest that modifying
the Pattern Abbreviator to accept a pattern like \{1.2*} which would mean
abbreviate everything except the last 2 "words" to a single character would be
more useful.

> Pattern Layout to abbreviate the name of all logger components except the 2

> Key: LOG4J2-2785
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2785
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Layouts
> Reporter: Rahul Khimasia
> Assignee: Ralph Goers
> Priority: Minor
>
> The following are my favorite patterns
> {quote}%c\{2} - which displays the corresponding number of rightmost logger
> name components. So a logger with a name like "org.apache.commons.Foo" is
> displayed as "commons.Foo".
> {quote}
> and
> {quote}%c\{1.} - which abbreviates the name based on the pattern. So a logger
> with a name like "org.apache.commons.Foo" is displayed as "o.a.c.Foo".
> {quote}
> Is there a way to combine the two. I want to abbreviate the name of all
> logger components except the 2 rightmost. Such that "org.apache.commons.Foo"
> is displayed as "o.a.commons.Foo".
