JSON log file format

[Bryan Wooten]

I know this is more of a log4j question, but my google foo is not working.

My log4j2.xml has this:

<RollingFile name="auditlogfile" fileName="/etc/cas/logs/cas_audit.log" append="true"
                     filePattern="/etc/cas/logs/cas_audit-%d{yyyy-MM-dd-HH}-%i.log">
            <PatternLayout pattern="%d %p [%c] - %m%n"/>
            <Policies>
                <OnStartupTriggeringPolicy />
                <SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="20 MB"/>
                <TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy />
            </Policies>
        </RollingFile>

Does anyone have an example showing a JSON PatternLayout?

We are using JSON format so that its more Filebeat friendly, did you also configure in your cas.properties? We didn’t have to change anything in the log4j xml besides enabling the audit file, the properties are below which comes from https://apereo.github.io/cas/6.2.x/configuration/Configuration-Properties.html#slf4j-audits

 

cas.audit.slf4j.auditFormat=JSON

cas.audit.slf4j.singlelineSeparator=|

cas.audit.slf4j.useSingleLine=true

cas.audit.slf4j.enabled=true

Thanks for the tip. I should have been more clear. We are on 6.1.7 so I think this is what we want:
