Hello Alexander,
I am using java.util.logging. Two things confusing. The first issue is
that the formatter does much more then only formatting. It implements
alos LogEventBroadcaster. So it does more then only formatting. If would
like to implement my own formatter I should implement this interface to.
That is the secound issue that bothers me. Also a custom log formatter
is never used for the initial log message.
Because of a this issues I decided to solve this problem by writing a
simple converter. It takes all finished log files, converts them into
JSON messages and forwards it to ElasticSearch.
Bye,
Oliver
