amosshi opened a new issue, #3207: URL: https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/issues/3207
**Warning!** It is highly recommended to discuss feature requests in [the mailing lists](https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/support.html) first. [A clear and concise description of the feature requested.] ### The Problem Currently log4j2 provides several JSON templates at: - https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/tree/2.x/log4j-layout-template-json/src/main/resources All of current template will generate log files with long key name, which produces **bigger log output**. ### The Request We deliver a compact JSON format, like CLEF or similar, to make the log output smaller. Example: [CLEF](https://github.com/serilog/serilog-formatting-compact) format could be **47%** smaller than the default [EcsLayout.json](https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/blob/2.x/log4j-layout-template-json/src/main/resources/EcsLayout.json). ### Reference - https://clef-json.org - https://github.com/serilog/serilog-formatting-compact -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
