public class GelfLogbackAppender
extends ch.qos.logback.core.AppenderBase<ch.qos.logback.classic.spi.ILoggingEvent>

Logging-Handler for GELF (Graylog Extended Logging Format). This Logback Handler creates GELF Messages and posts them using UDP (default) or TCP. Following parameters are supported/needed:

• host (Mandatory): Hostname/IP-Address of the Logstash Host
  • tcp:(the host) for TCP, e.g. tcp:127.0.0.1 or tcp:some.host.com
  • udp:(the host) for UDP, e.g. udp:127.0.0.1 or udp:some.host.com
  • (the host) for UDP, e.g. 127.0.0.1 or some.host.com
• port (Optional): Port, default 12201
• originHost (Optional): Originating Hostname, default FQDN Hostname
• extractStackTrace (Optional): Post Stack-Trace to StackTrace field, default false
• filterStackTrace (Optional): Perform Stack-Trace filtering (true/false), default false
• mdcProfiling (Optional): Perform Profiling (Call-Duration) based on MDC Data. See MDC Profiling, default false
• facility (Optional): Name of the Facility, default gelf-java
• filter (Optional): logback filter (incl. log level)
• additionalFields(number) (Optional): Post additional fields. Eg. .GelfLogHandler.additionalFields=fieldName=Value,field2=value2
• mdcFields (Optional): Post additional fields, pull Values from MDC. Name of the Fields are comma-separated mdcFields=Application,Version,SomeOtherFieldName

MDC Profiling

MDC Profiling allows to calculate the runtime from request start up to the time until the log message was generated. You must set one value in the MDC:

• profiling.requestStart.millis: Time Millis of the Request-Start (Long or String)

Two values are set by the Log Appender:

• profiling.requestEnd: End-Time of the Request-End in Date.toString-representation
• profiling.requestDuration: Duration of the request (e.g. 205ms, 16sec)
