Output message as json #244

Open kk-mats opened 3 months ago

kk-mats commented 3 months ago

Hi, I started to use this package in conjuction with logback-logstash-encoder for message layout. Then I noticed that message is output being quoted as string even if it is actually json.

I suppose this is because EcsJsonSerializer.serializeFormattedMessage is always used for any message layout in EcsEncorder. https://github.com/elastic/ecs-logging-java/blob/main/logback-ecs-encoder/src/main/java/co/elastic/logging/logback/EcsEncoder.java#L149

Currently is there any way to output message in json or do you have any plan to support such feature?

You could parse the JSON message in an Elasticsearch ingest pipeline. But generally, the ecs encoder is not designed to work with another JSON encoder.
