The logging configuration is already included in the product since tia® Core Content server 3.4.0.
To activate, simply set parameter logging.config parameter to value /application/config/json-logback.xml.
This example demonstrates how to set up tia Content Server to standard out, while all log rows are JSON objects. A JSON parser in a log analyser software can then extract the information pieces.
The stdout appender (line 4-29) defines
the encoder, with the providers to build the JSON object per log row (line 3 to 28).
The provider mdc is the mapped diagnostic context, which for tia Core product includes the field TraceId and SpanId. For more information, read /wiki/spaces/SUPPORT/pages/3661987841.
The root tag is the main point to load these specifications. Here,
the default root log level is set, as well as
the appender bound for logging.
The root log level can be set as well by application-wide parameter logging.level.root.
It is possible to bind declare and bind multiple appenders in the logging configuration file.
