Omer U commented on LOG4J2-3391:
--------------------------------
Thank you for your amazing response time.
additionalFields field is added to event log and works fine.
However in form of key value array. Since field keys are nearly static,
wouldn't it be nicer to expose map structure instead, like contextMap does? As
far as I know this key-value array format is recommended when there are to many
distinct keys. Please correct me if I am wrong.
contextMap is directly mapped to field.
{code:xml}
"contextMap" : {
"userIp" : "192.168.1.10"
}
{code}
current implementation in snapshot
{code:xml}
"additionalFields" : [
{
"key" : "hostname",
"value" : "DESKTOP"
},
{
"key" : "application",
"value" : "appname"
},
{
"key" : "contextPath",
"value" : "value"
}
]
{code}
What I was expecting
{code:xml}
"additionalFields" : {
"hostname", "DESKTOP",
"application": "appname",
"contextPath": "value"
}
{code}
