# Java Util Logging JSON encoder for Logstash

## Include as a dependency

First, add it to your project as a dependency.

Maven style:

```xml

  net.logstash.logging

  logstash-util-formatter

  1.0

```

Use it in your `logging.properties` like this:

```

handlers=java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler

java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter=net.logstash.logging.formatter.LogstashUtilFormatter

```

Use it in your logstash configuration like this:

```

input {

  file {

    type => "your-log-type"

    path => "/some/path/to/your/file.log"

    format => "json_event"

  }

}

```

## Example usage in Jenkins on Debian

* Create a directory in `JENKINS_HOME`: `mkdir /var/lib/jenkins/lib`

* Copy the shaded jar to this directory.

* Create a `logging.properties` in `/var/lib/jenkins/lib`:

```

handlers= java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler,java.util.logging.FileHandler

.level= INFO

java.util.logging.FileHandler.level = INFO

java.util.logging.FileHandler.formatter = net.logstash.logging.formatter.LogstashUtilFormatter

java.util.logging.FileHandler.pattern = /var/log/jenkins/logstash.log

java.util.logging.FileHandler.limit = 5000000

java.util.logging.FileHandler.count = 1

java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level = INFO

java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter = java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter

```

* Extend `JAVA_ARGS` in `/etc/default/jenkins`:

```

JAVA_ARGS="$JAVA_ARGS -Djava.endorsed.dirs=$JENKINS_HOME/lib -Djava.util.logging.config.file=$JENKINS_HOME/lib/logging.properties"

JAVA_ARGS="$JAVA_ARGS -Dnet.logstash.logging.formatter.LogstashUtilFormatter.tags=master,mailer"

```

* Use it in your logstash configuration like this:

```

input {

  file {

    type => "jenkins-server"

    path => "/var/log/jenkins/logstash.log"

    format => "json_event"

  }

}

```

* By setting the system propery `net.logstash.logging.formatter.LogstashUtilFormatter.tags` you may easily add tags,

which let you differentiate between multiple instances running on the same host.
