I have finally released log4j2-logstash-layout v1.0.0[1], which includes GELF layout[2]. Exposing epoch seconds of type double in the JSON template variables as efficiently as Log4j 2.0 GelfLayout turned out to be a tougher cookie than I was anticipating. But I can't complain, thanks to the feature, I've stepped into the Jackson hall of fame[3,4]. For those interested in, LogstashLayout is *still* the fastest JSON layout and I've updated the benchmark[5] accordingly. In my next adventure, I will see if I can beat PatternLayout with a generic template engine, e.g., Rocker[6]. If that experiment turns out to be positive, I will extend it with JsonLayout.
