Hello, I'm a big fan of log4j2 and always recommend it in all my professional projects.
Lately I have run into an issue while using the log4j2 Json Layout and I would like to request/contribute a feature. The gist is to allow the use of the exception pattern for the throwable by adding it as a property of those layouts, so you can specify a max number of lines, or remove the package where the code comes from. This comes as when exceptions get logged in Json format, the stack trace is huge and I am trying to reduce it a bit as the system we use to process the logs hits a limit on logline size. I am new to this so all guidance is welcome. This is the first time I actually have an idea to contribute to an open source project. From exploring a bit the code, this is not a fully straightforward change as I would need to: - add the new property to the jackson derived formats (it seems to me it makes sense to have this available for all those, not just the one I want) - leverage the exception pattern for the logic to serialize the exception Thank you, David
