Of course I don't expect to obtain the same behaviour where the class reference is clickable, which integrates the sources and all of that. In my case I'm simply trying to add those 2 pieces of information (as simple text) aside with the actual log message. Also, if you notice from the first screenshot, in addition to class simple name and line number at the end, there is also at the beginning the fully qualified name of the class and the method name. Is it something that is achievable at all? I tried playing with the {{<pattern>}} node of the xml but no luck, maybe I need to create a customLayout class or something, can you help me? That data would be very helpful to me as I can directly open the sources pointing to the specific line which generated the log and start from there for debugging. I think that it's something related to {{JsonLayout}} and the possibility to customize the message in order to add the caller information.
