Is there a Logback Layout that Creates JSON Objects with Message Parameters as Attributes?

Question

I want to send log events to Loggly as JSON objects with parameterized string messages. Our project currently has a lot of code that looks like this:

String some

Like already answered you'll get a one-dimensional JSON tree with MDC and/or using a Marker with logstash-logback-encoder.

If you are also looking for the following:

• codebooks for definition of logged datatype key and type,
• configuration of log-aggregation tools (like elasticsearch)
• generated Java helper-code for efficient and correct logging

then try a project I've created: json-log-domain. It defines a simple YAML-format definition from which the above can be generated.

An example helper-code statement would be

logger.info(host("localhost").port(8080), "Hello world");

while generated markdown would like something like this.
