The MQ Operator already supports JSON logging. You just need OpenShift Container Platform 4.8 for the version of OpenShift Logging which can handle JSON logs.
I have managed to get JSON log format working with OpenShift Container Platform 4.7 cluster logging. Look forward to the new MQ JSON logging in OpenShift Container Platform 4.8.
The MQ containers already output error logs on stderr, so we think that more information is needed on what exactly this request is looking for
Getting the full MQ error log on stderr. Currently, the container either outputs the JSON error log line, or, if basic formatting is requested (the default), just the log message line.
Getting the web server logs onto stderr. This is already possible by setting some environment variables, but configuration could perhaps be simplified
Changing the text-based format of the logs to conform with the format used by other Kubernetes components, so that the same parser can process all messages. We are unlikely to do this, as the Kubernetes format is:
Specific to Kubernetes in some ways, for example the inclusion of a source file name in the output
Uses declarative logging, rather than messages with inserts. MQ uses messages with inserts.
For (3) the advice would be that from OpenShift Container Platform 4.8 onwards, JSON logging is supported again, so enabling MQ JSON logging (using ".spec.logFormat: JSON") would give fully structured logs.
