Enabling JSON formatting for Policy Editor logs

Enable JSON-formatted data for default Policy Editor loggers.

About this task

You can add the dropwizard-json-logging library in the PingAuthorize-PAP/config/configuration.yml file for each logger you wish to enable JSON formatting for. The availability of this library does not impact the Policy Editor’s default configuration.

Steps

Stop the Policy Editor.
```
$ bin/stop-server
```

In the PingAuthorize-PAP/config/configuration.yml file, add the following to the appenders section of each logger for which you want to enable JSON formatting:

layout:
  type: json

Example:

To enable JSON-formatted data in management-audit.log:

ADMIN_POINT_AUDIT:
  level: "INFO"
  additive: false
  appenders:
  - type: "file"
    layout:
      type: json
    currentLogFilename: "logs/management-audit.log"
    archive: false
    archivedLogFilenamePattern: "logs/management-audit.%i.log.gz"
    archivedFileCount: 10
    logFormat: "[%date{ISO8601}] %msg%n"

To enable JSON formatting for all HTTP request log messages, add the following to the server section of the PingAuthorize-PAP/config/configuration.yml file:
```
requestLog:
  appenders:
    - type: console
      layout:
        type: access-json
```
Save your changes and restart the Policy Editor.
```
$ bin/start-server
```
