GitHub user amosshi created a discussion: JSON Template Layout - level - short name
In the document it reads: - https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/json-template-layout.html#event-template-resolver-pattern > If you find yourself using pattern, it is highly likely you are either doing > something wrong, or JSON Template Layout needs some improvement. In our current settings, we do use pattern for the log `level`, which generates only 1 character to save disk space, and somewhat readable, like - `I` for INFO - `W` for WARN - `E` for ERROR ```json "logLevel": { "$resolver": "pattern", "pattern": "%level{length=1}" } ``` In today's **JSON Template Layout**, we do have another option of `severity / code`, which will generate a number for level based on [Syslog severity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syslog#Severity_levels), like - `6` for INFO - `4` for WARN - `3` for ERROR ``` config = field , [ severity ] field = "field" -> ( "name" | "severity" ) severity = severity-field severity-field = "field" -> ( "keyword" | "code" ) ``` Well it is clear the `severity code` (4, 5, 6) is **NOT reader friendly** and we need a mapping to make it readable. ### The Request - It will be perfect JSON Template Layout can natively support the `single character level` GitHub link: https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/discussions/3889 ---- This is an automatically sent email for dev@logging.apache.org.
