Shifting more to structured logging, and json parsing would be superb ]]> https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/columns-from-json-formatted-logs/?ID=3d4d23f3-32d6-4b24-ab8a-c56b8bb704a2#6 Wed, 10 Apr 2019 00:58:19 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/columns-from-json-formatted-logs/?ID=3d4d23f3-32d6-4b24-ab8a-c56b8bb704a2#6 LogFusion Not yet, sorry.

https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/layouts.html#JSONLayout

Considering the JSON format includes both the column name and the contents, it should be quite simple to translate this to columns. I would love to get this feature implemented because I've yet to find a good way to get columns working with any logs which contain stack traces. Due to the lack of lookaround regex support any stack traces will nicely parse the first line out into columns (timestamp, thread ID, etc) but then dump the remaining stack trace lines into the first (timestamp) column because they lack the standard date/thread prefixes. The JSON format seems like the ideal solution to this, because it's already broken out into columns, but there is no support. ]]>
