I have a need in a project and I don't really know how to do the architecture (springboot, with Kubernetes deployment).

I need to have a microservice only for logs, that is, that paints everything that I send to it in the log.

At first I wanted to send it (log[debug, info, error], client number, entity), but that entity must be generic and I would like to paint a ToString of said entity in the Log4J line.

Any idea how to expose a Rest that has a generic entity that I can then paint? I comment on the generic entity because some entities have 40 fields, others 20... and each one with different names.

Thank you very much to all.

You can't know the toString method of your POJO if you do not import them in your logging project so, what I would recommend is to create a LogMessage POJO that you use in your logging endpoint and have the client convert the log message to this when sending.

I understand what you're saying but it's not really what I'm looking for. I have several different systems that are going to call the log microservice. And not on all systems I can easily get the ToString of the object.

Couldn't you send a generic Object to java and read it from the microservice to paint its content? Is there no alternative?
