Encodes the specified source LogEvent to some binary representation and writes the result to the specified destination.

The default implementation of this method delegates to the Layout.toByteArray(LogEvent) method which allocates temporary objects.

Subclasses can override this method to provide a garbage-free implementation. For text-based layouts, AbstractStringLayout provides various convenience methods to help with this:

@Plugin(name = "MyLayout", category = Node.CATEGORY, elementType = Layout.ELEMENT_TYPE, printObject = true)
public final class MyLayout extends AbstractStringLayout {
    @Override
    public void encode(LogEvent event, ByteBufferDestination destination) {
        StringBuilder text = getStringBuilder();
        convertLogEventToText(event, text);
        getStringBuilderEncoder().encode(text, destination);
    }
    private void convertLogEventToText(LogEvent event, StringBuilder destination) {
        ... // append a text representation of the log event to the StringBuilder
    }
}
Params:
  • event – the LogEvent to encode.
  • destination – holds the ByteBuffer to write into.
