the original Monolog's
FormatterInterfaceformatmethod signature does not impose any return type while theElasticCommonSchemaFormatterdoes impose a return type ofstring:ecs-logging-php/src/Elastic/Monolog/Formatter/ElasticCommonSchemaFormatter.php
Line 83 in 978b848
this change removes this limitation so it's possible to override the
formatmethod and return a different type(ex: array).the usecase i have here is that i want to combine the
ElasticCommonSchemaFormatterwith a monolog handler that uses the fluent logger to send logs to fluent-bit, fluent-bit's forward protocol accept only messages inmsgpackformat, so messages are packed using msgpack php extension, since the message are encoded in a format other then JSON, there is no need here to encode theecsmessage to json(currently it's automatically done in theformatmethod)ecs-logging-php/src/Elastic/Monolog/Formatter/ElasticCommonSchemaFormatter.php
Line 132 in 978b848
and then later decode it, instead i would need only the formatted array so it can be further packed into a
msgpackto be sent to fluent-bit.
