I'm running Solr 5.x and have the need to push logs into AWS's kinesis firehose.
As I understand it, I need the logs to be in JSON format. This page: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Configuring+Logging Tells me that SOLR is using Log4J version 1.2.... I've played with Log4J configs before - long ago, so I'm somewhat familiar, but I'd rather not re-invent the wheel. Can I write JSON log messages by making changes to the log4j configuration file or is there more work required (some of the web pages I've seen imply more work necessary...) This page: https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/layouts.html Says, under JSONLayout: "This layout requires Jackson jar files..." I assume that means Solr would need to contain those - or be recompiled with them... Can anyone tell me if Jackson is already is Solr 5.x Is anyone aware of examples of configuring the Solr log4j config to write JSON? Thanks
