NAME

Log::ger::Layout::JSON - Layout log message as a JSON object (hash)

VERSION

This document describes version 0.002 of Log::ger::Layout::JSON (from Perl distribution Log-ger-Layout-JSON), released on 2020-03-07.

SYNOPSIS

 use Log::ger::Layout JSON => (
     add_fields         => {key3 => 'value', key4 => 'value', ...},         # optional
     add_special_fields => {_date => 'Date_GMT', _host => 'Hostname', ...}, # optional
     delete_fields      => ['key1', 'key2', qr/some-regex/, ...],           # optional
 );
 use Log::ger;

 # if you use it together with Log::ger::Format::None:
 log_warn({key1 => 'val1', key2 => 'val2', foo => 'bar', ...);

 # otherwise, using the standard formatter:
 log_warn("blah %s", ['some', 'data']);

The final message will be something like:

 {"foo":"bar", "key3":"value", "key4":"value", "_date":"2017-06-28T14:08:22", "_host":"example.com"}

or:

 {"message":"blah [\"some\",\"data\"]", "_date":"2017-06-28T14:08:22", "_host":"example.com"}

DESCRIPTION

This layouter allows you to log as JSON. If you use Log::ger::Format::None, you can pass a hashref. Otherwise, the message will be put in message key. You can then delete keys then add additional fields/keys (including special fields, a la Log::ger::Layout::Pattern).
