JsonLayout is an alternate layout that outputs each line as a JSON object.
JsonLayout is an alternate layout that outputs each line as a JSON object. It does not attempt to produce a file that contains valid JSON however, and would need additional processing to turn this series of distinct objects into a well formed JSON array. It is specifically designed for processing each log message as a separate JSON object.
To use it, you simply need to log JsonMessage
objects, which you can easily
produce by mixing in the JsonLogging
trait, importing JsonLogging._
and
having an argonaut.EncodeJson[Foo]
in scope for the Foo object you want to
log. This EncodeJson instance is then used to control the format of the log
output.
If you do not have an EncodeJson for the message object, then it will fall back to a String representation given by the Show[Foo] instance in scope.
Usage:
import argonaut._, Argonaut._ trait Foo { def bar: Bar } object Foo extends JsonLogging { import JsonLogging._ def foozle(foo: Foo) = info(foo) implicit val FooEncoder: EncodeJson[Foo] = // assuming there is already an EncodeJson[Bar] EncodeJson { foo => ("foobar" := foo.bar) ->: Json.jEmptyObject } // results in {"foo":{"bar":"..."}} }
