Logging on JSON format

[disaster37]

It can be usefull to have ability to log on JSON format with a property logging.json: true. It's nice to have log on stdout with Json format when it run on POD.

More over, I doesn't found a way to log on JSON format.

[abbyhu2000]

This is a good idea, and can be picked up by anyone that is interested.

Hi,

logging.json property is already there and i can see the logs coming in JSON format. Can you try setting "logging.json: true" in opensearch_dashboards.yml ?

Hi, thx for the tips.

It's work, but some logs are still in plain text when Dashboard starting. And others are prefixed by timestamps ...

Bad case:

2024-04-29T10:00:06.720996558Z {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2024-04-29T10:00:06Z","tags":["info","plugins-service"],"pid":1,"message":"Plugin \"dataSource\" is disabled."}

2024-04-29T10:00:07.040201454Z [agentkeepalive:deprecated] options.freeSocketKeepAliveTimeout is deprecated, please use options.freeSocketTimeout instead

All logs on starting

Hi @disaster37 Can you please share in which version was this issue observed? I have tried and did not see logs prefixed with timestamps.
