Reference for the logging standardization effort: Jakarta Best Practice Proposal for Standardized Logging Fields - v2

This requirement outlines that we can use JSON, CSV, or any other delimited format as long as the field names are present.

JSON Approach

This has not been successfully tested on any other repo, but the CPS team implemented console JSON logging by adding the following to the XML files:

Add this where the appenders are for STDOUT and delete the old STDOUT appender (if there is one):

...

to the main logback xml file or break it up into pieces depending on how the xml files are structured on the project:

<configuration scan="true" scanPeriod="30 seconds" debug="false">

    <include resource="org/springframework/boot/logging/logback/defaults.xml" />
    <include resource="org/springframework/boot/logging/logback/console-appender.xml" />

    <springProperty scope="context" name="springAppName" source="spring.application.name"/>
    <springProperty scope="context" name="username" source="security.auth.username"/>
    <springProperty scope="context" name="loggingFormat" source="logging.format"/>
    <property name="currentTimeStamp" value="%d{yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSXXX,UTC}"/>

    <appender name="jsonConsole"

Depending on how the logging files are setup, this could be added in the main XML or a separate file that has the property elements in it:

The appender is the main piece here that will actually output the pattern into the console or a file:

String Output Approach

If the goal is to output strings to the console instead of JSON, these suggestions and resources might be helpful:

...

You may have to build the project from a subdirectory rather than the base project directory. This CI Management repo will help clarify where each of the projects are building from to better identify the subdirectory you should build from: https://github.com/onap/ci-management/tree/master/jjb/dcaegen2
You will need the onap-settings.xml file to build each project. You can download it here: onap-settings.xml
