+
+Structured logging to standard output according to the Google Cloud
+Logging specification.
+
+
+== Summary
+
+This package contains a log formatter for JBoss Logging in the form of
+a Quarkus plugin that implements the
+https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/structured-logging[Google Cloud
+Logging JSON format] on standard output.
+
+It is possible to log unstructured text, structured data, or a mixture
+of both depending on the situation.
+
+
+
+To run the application with live reloading enabled:
+
+[source,console]
+----
+$ ./mvnw quarkus:dev
+----
+
+
+== Activation
+
+Add the runtime POM to your dependency list. As long as the JAR is on
+the classpath at both build time and runtime, the log formatter
+automatically registers itself on startup.
+
+
+=== Activation with Maven
+
+[source,xml]
+----
+<project>
+ ...
+
+ <dependencies>
+ ...
+
+ <dependency>
+ <groupId>eu.mulk.quarkus-googlecloud-jsonlogging</groupId>
+ <artifactId>quarkus-googlecloud-jsonlogging</artifactId>
+ <version>3.1.0</version>
+ </dependency>
+
+ ...
+ </dependencies>
+
+ ...
+</project>
+----
+
+
+=== Activation with Gradle
+
+[source,groovy]
+----
+dependencies {
+ ...
+
+ implementation("eu.mulk.quarkus-googlecloud-jsonlogging:quarkus-googlecloud-jsonlogging:3.1.0")
+
+ ...
+}
+----
+
+
+== Usage
+
+Logging unstructured data requires no code changes. All logs are
+automatically converted to Google-Cloud-Logging-compatible JSON.
+
+Structured data can be logged in one of 3 different ways: by passing
+https://javadocs.dev/eu.mulk.quarkus-googlecloud-jsonlogging/quarkus-googlecloud-jsonlogging/3.1.0/eu.mulk.quarkus.googlecloud.jsonlogging/eu/mulk/quarkus/googlecloud/jsonlogging/Label.html[Label]s
+and
+https://javadocs.dev/eu.mulk.quarkus-googlecloud-jsonlogging/quarkus-googlecloud-jsonlogging/3.1.0/eu.mulk.quarkus.googlecloud.jsonlogging/eu/mulk/quarkus/googlecloud/jsonlogging/StructuredParameter.html[StructuredParameter]s
+as parameters to individual log entries, by supplying
+https://javadocs.dev/eu.mulk.quarkus-googlecloud-jsonlogging/quarkus-googlecloud-jsonlogging/3.1.0/eu.mulk.quarkus.googlecloud.jsonlogging/eu/mulk/quarkus/googlecloud/jsonlogging/LabelProvider.html[LabelProvider]s
+and
+https://javadocs.dev/eu.mulk.quarkus-googlecloud-jsonlogging/quarkus-googlecloud-jsonlogging/3.1.0/eu.mulk.quarkus.googlecloud.jsonlogging/eu/mulk/quarkus/googlecloud/jsonlogging/StructuredParameterProvider.html[StructuredParameterProvider]s,
+or by using the Mapped Diagnostic Context.
+
+
+=== Using Label and StructuredParameter
+
+Instances of
+https://javadocs.dev/eu.mulk.quarkus-googlecloud-jsonlogging/quarkus-googlecloud-jsonlogging/3.1.0/eu.mulk.quarkus.googlecloud.jsonlogging/eu/mulk/quarkus/googlecloud/jsonlogging/Label.html[Label]
+and
+https://javadocs.dev/eu.mulk.quarkus-googlecloud-jsonlogging/quarkus-googlecloud-jsonlogging/3.1.0/eu.mulk.quarkus.googlecloud.jsonlogging/eu/mulk/quarkus/googlecloud/jsonlogging/StructuredParameter.html[StructuredParameter]
+can be passed as log parameters to the `*f` family of logging
+functions on JBoss Logging's
+https://docs.jboss.org/jbosslogging/latest/org/jboss/logging/Logger.html[Logger].
+
+Simple key–value pairs are represented by
+https://javadocs.dev/eu.mulk.quarkus-googlecloud-jsonlogging/quarkus-googlecloud-jsonlogging/3.1.0/eu.mulk.quarkus.googlecloud.jsonlogging/eu/mulk/quarkus/googlecloud/jsonlogging/KeyValueParameter.html[KeyValueParameter].
+
+**Example:**
+
+[source,java]
+----
+logger.logf(
+ "Request rejected: unauthorized.",
+ Label.of("requestId", "123"),
+ KeyValueParameter.of("resource", "/users/mulk"),
+ KeyValueParameter.of("method", "PATCH"),
+ KeyValueParameter.of("reason", "invalid token"));
+----
+
+Result:
+
+[source,json]
+----
+{
+ "jsonPayload": {
+ "message": "Request rejected: unauthorized.",
+ "resource": "/users/mulk",
+ "method": "PATCH",
+ "reason": "invalid token"
+ },
+ "labels": {
+ "requestId": "123"
+ }
+}
+----
+
+
+=== Using LabelProvider and StructuredParameterProvider
+
+Any CDI beans that implement
+https://javadocs.dev/eu.mulk.quarkus-googlecloud-jsonlogging/quarkus-googlecloud-jsonlogging/3.1.0/eu.mulk.quarkus.googlecloud.jsonlogging/eu/mulk/quarkus/googlecloud/jsonlogging/LabelProvider.html[LabelProvider]
+and
+https://javadocs.dev/eu.mulk.quarkus-googlecloud-jsonlogging/quarkus-googlecloud-jsonlogging/3.1.0/eu.mulk.quarkus.googlecloud.jsonlogging/eu/mulk/quarkus/googlecloud/jsonlogging/StructuredParameterProvider.html[StructuredParameterProvider]
+are discovered at build time and consulted to provide labels and
+parameters for each message that is logged. This can be used to
+provide contextual information such as tracing and request IDs stored
+in thread-local storage.
+
+**Example:**
+
+[source,java]
+----
+@Singleton
+@Unremovable
+public final class TraceLogParameterProvider implements StructuredParameterProvider, LabelProvider {
+
+ @Override
+ public StructuredParameter getParameter() {
+ var b = Json.createObjectBuilder();
+ b.add("traceId", Span.current().getSpanContext().getTraceId());
+ b.add("spanId", Span.current().getSpanContext().getSpanId());
+ return () -> b;
+ }
+
+ @Override
+ public Collection<Label> getLabels() {
+ return List.of(Label.of("requestId", "123"));
+ }
+}
+----
+
+Result:
+
+[source,json]
+----
+{
+ "jsonPayload": {
+ "message": "Request rejected: unauthorized.",
+ "traceId": "39f9a49a9567a8bd7087b708f8932550",
+ "spanId": "c7431b14630b633d"
+ },
+ "labels": {
+ "requestId": "123"
+ }
+}
+----
+
+
+=== Using the Mapped Diagnostic Context
+
+Any key–value pairs in JBoss Logging's thread-local
+https://docs.jboss.org/jbosslogging/latest/org/jboss/logging/MDC.html[MDC]
+are added to the resulting JSON.
+
+**Example:**
+
+[source,java]
+----
+MDC.put("resource", "/users/mulk");
+MDC.put("method", "PATCH");
+logger.logf("Request rejected: unauthorized.");
+----
+
+Result:
+
+[source,json]
+----
+{
+ "jsonPayload": {
+ "message": "Request rejected: unauthorized.",
+ "resource": "/users/mulk",
+ "method": "PATCH"
+ }
+}
