Wondering what is the purpose - is it to get some insight into the cluster?
Besides the logs themselves, another approach that many and I have taken is to pull the JMX metrics from Cassandra and push them to an appropriate metrics/timeseries system. Here's one approach of getting JMX metrics out as JSON over HTTP - https://blog.pythian.com/two-easy-ways-poll-apache-cassandra-metrics-using-jmx-http-bridge/ I have taken the approach of using Logstash with JMX input plugin to pull metrics and push to OpenTSDB. Here's a sample of the final dashboard - https://pasteboard.co/H2i5dFl.png from my metrics.

It feel more "native" than to add some jar in C* lib in order to change logging behavior, and it will be easier for you to post some log on this ML if you keep the original format :) On 10 January 2018 at 11:07, shalom sagges <shalomsag...@gmail.com<mailto:shalomsag...@gmail.com>> wrote: Hi All, I want to push the Cassandra logs (version 3.x) to Kibana. Is there a way to configure the Cassandra logs to be in json format? If modifying the logs to json is not an option, I came across this blog post from about a year ago regarding that matter: https://medium.com/@alain.rastoul/pushing-cassandra-logs-into-elasticsearch-9be3b52af754 Is that a good way of accomplishing that? Thanks!
