How does SLF4J support structured logging [closed]

Answer 1

FYI - I've just open sourced a structured logging wrapper for SLF4J. We're using it at my day job to front logging into Splunk and it's been a big improvement. Maybe you will find it useful.

https://github.com/Randgalt/maple

You define a "schema" and then wrap an SLF4J logger. E.g.

public interface LoggingSchema {
    LoggingSchema name(String name);

    LoggingSchema date(Instant date);

    ... etc ...
}    

...

MapleLogger logger = MapleFactory.getLogger(slf4j, LoggingSchema.class);
logger.info("my message", s -> s.name("john doe").date(Instant.now());

Generates an slf4j log ala:

slf4j.info("my message name=\"john doe\" date=2019-10-08T18:52:15.820177Z");
