How to pass the Patten and JsonFactoryDecorator programmatically in Logback in spring application

1.3k views Asked by At

This is my logback.spring.xml

<encoder class="net.logstash.logback.encoder.LoggingEventCompositeJsonEncoder">
            <providers>
                
                <arguments/>
               
                <stackTrace/>
               
                <mdc>
                    <excludeMdcKeyName>ClaimNo</excludeMdcKeyName>
                    <excludeMdcKeyName>ClaimId</excludeMdcKeyName>
                </mdc>
                <pattern>
                    <pattern>
                        {
                        "Claim": "[${logback.company}, ${logback.info}]",  // YML file value 
                        "Log level": "${logback.level}",    // YML value 
                        "Time": "%date",
                        "Thread ID": "%thread",
                        "claimId":"[%X{claimId}]",   //MDC key 
                        "Claim no": "[%X{CliamNo}]", // MDC Key
                        "Logger": "%logger",
                        "Message": "%msg"
                        }
                    </pattern>
                </pattern>
            </providers>
            <jsonFactoryDecorator class="net.logstash.logback.decorate.CharacterEscapesJsonFactoryDecorator">
                <escape>
                    <targetCharacterCode>9</targetCharacterCode> <!-- Tab-->
                    <escapeSequence></escapeSequence>
                </escape>
                <escape>
                    <targetCharacterCode>10</targetCharacterCode>  <!-- New Line-->
                    <escapeSequence></escapeSequence>
                </escape>
            </jsonFactoryDecorator>
        </encoder>

Since I am using different appender with same encode pattern and in order to reuse the pattern, I am trying to add programmatically as like below, but here I am not sure how to pass pattern, MDC value and CharacterEscapesJsonFactoryDecorator from class level. Please can you help me on this.

public class JsonEncoder extends LoggingEventCompositeJsonEncoder {
    public JsonEncoder() {
    }
    @Override
    public void start() {
       

        List<String> mdcList = new ArrayList<String>();
        mdcList.add("ClaimNo");
        mdcList.add("CliamId");
        MdcJsonProvider mdcJsonProvider= new MdcJsonProvider();
        mdcJsonProvider.setExcludeMdcKeyNames(mdcList);

        JsonProviders<ILoggingEvent> providers = getProviders();
        providers.addProvider(mdcJsonProvider);
        
        super.start();
    }
}

The xml element names match the setter/adder methods on the underlying configuration classes.

Also note that the pattern value should not contain comments.

public class JsonEncoder extends LoggingEventCompositeJsonEncoder {

    @Override
    public void start() {
        /*
         * <providers>
         */
        JsonProviders<ILoggingEvent> providers = getProviders();
        providers.setContext(getContext());

        /*
         * <arguments/>
         */
        providers.addProvider(new ArgumentsJsonProvider());

        /*
         * <stackTrace/>
         */
        providers.addProvider(new StackTraceJsonProvider());


        /*
         * <mdc>
         *     <excludeMdcKeyName>ClaimNo</excludeMdcKeyName>
         *     <excludeMdcKeyName>ClaimId</excludeMdcKeyName>
         * </mdc>

        MdcJsonProvider mdcJsonProvider= new MdcJsonProvider();
        List<String> mdcList = new ArrayList<String>();
        mdcList.add("ClaimNo");
        mdcList.add("ClaimId");
        mdcJsonProvider.setExcludeMdcKeyNames(mdcList);
        providers.addProvider(mdcJsonProvider);

        /*

        LoggingEventPatternJsonProvider patternJsonProvider = new LoggingEventPatternJsonProvider();
        patternJsonProvider.setPattern("{\n" +
                "\"Claim\": \"[${logback.company}, ${logback.info}]\",\n" +

        CharacterEscapesJsonFactoryDecorator jsonFactoryDecorator = new CharacterEscapesJsonFactoryDecorator();

        CharacterEscapesJsonFactoryDecorator.Escape escape1 = new CharacterEscapesJsonFactoryDecorator.Escape();
        escape1.setTargetCharacterCode(9);
        escape1.setEscapeSequence("");
