Document structured logging implementations with clarity, explicitly noting precedence rules and interactions with other logging configurations. Always highlight important considerations (such as custom configurations taking precedence) prominently in the main documentation rather than as footnotes or warnings that might be missed.
Document structured logging implementations with clarity, explicitly noting precedence rules and interactions with other logging configurations. Always highlight important considerations (such as custom configurations taking precedence) prominently in the main documentation rather than as footnotes or warnings that might be missed.
When providing configuration examples:
Example of good structured logging documentation:
# Structured Logging
To enable structured logging, set the property `logging.structured.format.console` (for console output)
or `logging.structured.format.file` (for file output) to the format ID you want to use.
IMPORTANT: Custom log configurations take precedence over these settings. If you're using custom log
configuration, you must manually configure structured logging as shown below:
## Basic Implementation
```xml
<encoder class="org.springframework.boot.logging.logback.StructuredLogEncoder">
<format>${CONSOLE_LOG_STRUCTURED_FORMAT}</format>
<charset>${CONSOLE_LOG_CHARSET}</charset>
</encoder>
For advanced configurations with conditionals, see our default configurations. ```
This approach ensures that developers have clear guidance for common cases while maintaining access to more complex options when needed.
