Hello,
We have a solrCloud running solr 8.6.3 and we want to write our logs as jsons.

We looked around and decided that the best way to achieve this is by using the 
log4j-layout-template-json extension published by apache. 
(https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/json-template-layout.html)

we tried to implement it by adding the jar to our lib folder (where we put the 
custom solr components we wrote) and using the configuration written for this 
purpose in solr's repo 
(https://github.com/apache/solr/blob/b0a4b0213016bef59fcc6a280c498cbf35e64230/solr/docker/tests/cases/test_log4j/log4j2.xml)
 but ended up disappointed because instead of writing the logs in json format 
we got a watered down version of our logs that is not a valid json.

we did some digging an discovered that in solr 9.0.0 this jar was added to 
solr's build. however, we are unable to upgrade to solr 9 at the moment. is 
there a way to apply this jar to the cluster in solr 8.6.3?
