When Asterisk is part of a larger distributed system, log files are often
gathered using tools (such as logstash) that prefer to consume information
and have it rendered using other tools (such as Kibana) that prefer a
structured format, e.g., JSON. This patch adds support for JSON formatted
logs by adding support for an optional log format specifier in Asterisk's
logging subsystem. By adding a format specifier of '[json]':
full => [json]debug,verbose,notice,warning,error
Log messages will be output to the 'full' channel in the following
format:
{
"hostname": Hostname or name specified in asterisk.conf
"timestamp": Date/Time
"identifiers": {
"lwp": Thread ID,
"callid": Call Identifier
}
"logmsg": {
"location": {
"filename": Name of the file that generated the log statement
"function": Function that generated the log statement
"line": Line number that called the logging function
}
"level": Log level, e.g., DEBUG, VERBOSE, etc.
"message": Actual text of the log message
}
}
