Summary
EcsLayout
from log4j2-ecs-layout
currently uses a hardcoded implementation of MdcSerializer
for MDC serialization. While this works well for most cases, it lacks flexibility for users with custom MDC serialization requirements.
I propose adding support for configuring or overriding the MdcSerializer
implementation to accommodate specific use cases, such as:
- Custom JSON structure for MDC fields.
- Enhanced MDC sanitization or transformation logic.
- Integrating additional logging contexts.
Problem Statement
The current implementation of MdcSerializer
is resolved dynamically using MdcSerializer.Resolver
. However, it does not allow users to provide their own MdcSerializer
implementation.
Proposed Solution
Introduce a mechanism to customize the MdcSerializer
, such as already implemented for ObjectMessageJacksonSerializer
