Currently all appender.json_console logs are written as stdout and logs are written into a docker container json log for logstash which is using a lot of disk space. I am aware of the options to utilize docker options -log-opts to limit the log size, but would like to see if we have options like below?
Is it possible to utiilse the log4j.properties configuration to write the json_console log to a file like other logstash log. Trying to achieve something like below.
appender.json_console.fileName = ${sys:ls.logs}/logstash-${sys:ls.log.format}.log
Current configuration portion given below
appender.console.type = Console
appender.console.name = plain_console
