Los logs tradicionales en formato texto se vuelven inmanejables rápidamente en producción. Con cientos de instancias generando miles de líneas por segundo, buscar un error específico se convierte en una pesadilla. Los logs estructurados en JSON transforman esta situación al hacer que cada evento sea consultable y analizable de forma automática.

> **Punto clave**
>
> Spring Boot 3.4+ soporta de forma nativa el logging estructurado en JSON sin dependencias externas. Para versiones anteriores, Logback Logstash Encoder sigue siendo la solución de referencia.

## Por qué adoptar logs estructurados

### Limitaciones de los logs en texto plano

Un log de texto típico tiene este aspecto:

```
2026-03-27 10:15:32.456 INFO  [order-service,abc123] c.e.s.OrderService - Order created for user john@example.com, amount: 150.00€, items: 3
```

Este formato presenta varios problemas en producción. Extraer información específica requiere expresiones regulares complejas y frágiles. La correlación entre servicios exige convenciones estrictas que cada equipo interpreta a su manera. Las herramientas de análisis como Elasticsearch tienen dificultades para indexar eficientemente estas cadenas no estructuradas.

### Ventajas del formato JSON

El mismo evento en JSON resulta inmediatamente explotable:

```json
{
  "@timestamp": "2026-03-27T10:15:32.456Z",
  "level": "INFO",
  "logger": "com.example.service.OrderService",
  "message": "Order created",
  "service": "order-service",
  "traceId": "abc123",
  "userId": "john@example.com",
  "orderId": "ORD-789456",
  "amount": 150.00,
  "currency": "EUR",
  "itemCount": 3
}
```

Cada campo se vuelve filtrable y agregable. Una consulta Elasticsearch encuentra al instante todos los pedidos superiores a 100€ de los últimos quince minutos. Los dashboards de Kibana visualizan tendencias sin parsing manual.

## Configuración nativa de Spring Boot 3.4+

### Activar los logs JSON estructurados

Spring Boot 3.4 introduce soporte nativo para logging estructurado mediante la propiedad `logging.structured`. Este enfoque no requiere ninguna dependencia adicional.

```yaml
# application.yml
# Native structured logging configuration for Spring Boot 3.4+
logging:
  structured:
    # Output format: ecs (Elastic), logstash, gelf
    format:
      console: ecs
      file: ecs
  file:
    name: /var/log/app/application.log
  level:
    root: INFO
    com.example: DEBUG
```

El formato ECS (Elastic Common Schema) garantiza compatibilidad directa con Elasticsearch y Kibana sin configuración adicional.

### Personalizar los campos JSON

Para añadir campos de negocio en cada log, Spring Boot permite configurar atributos adicionales.

```yaml
# application.yml
# Custom fields in structured logs
logging:
  structured:
    format:
      console: ecs
    ecs:
      # Service information added to every log
      service:
        name: ${spring.application.name}
        version: ${app.version:1.0.0}
        environment: ${spring.profiles.active:default}
        node-name: ${HOSTNAME:unknown}
```

```java
// LoggingConfig.java
// Programmatic configuration for additional fields
package com.example.logging.config;

import org.springframework.boot.logging.structured.StructuredLogFormatterCustomizer;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;

@Configuration
public class LoggingConfig {

    @Bean
    StructuredLogFormatterCustomizer<EcsStructuredLogFormatter> ecsCustomizer() {
        return formatter -> formatter
            // Adds static fields to all logs
            .addStaticField("team", "backend")
            .addStaticField("region", System.getenv("AWS_REGION"))
            // Customizes exception formatting
            .setIncludeStacktrace(true)
            .setStacktraceMaxLength(5000);
    }
}
```

Estos campos aparecen en cada línea de log y facilitan el filtrado por equipo o región en los dashboards.

## Configuración clásica de Logback con encoder JSON

### Dependencia Logstash Encoder

Para las versiones de Spring Boot anteriores a la 3.4 o necesidades de personalización avanzada, Logstash Logback Encoder sigue siendo la solución de referencia.

```xml
<!-- pom.xml -->
<!-- Dependency for JSON logging with Logback -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>net.logstash.logback</groupId>
    <artifactId>logstash-logback-encoder</artifactId>
    <version>7.4</version>
</dependency>
```

### Configuración Logback completa

El archivo `logback-spring.xml` ofrece control total sobre el formato de salida.

```xml
<!-- src/main/resources/logback-spring.xml -->
<!-- Logback configuration for structured JSON logs -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <!-- Spring Boot properties -->
    <springProperty scope="context" name="appName" source="spring.application.name" defaultValue="app"/>
    <springProperty scope="context" name="appVersion" source="app.version" defaultValue="1.0.0"/>

    <!-- JSON console appender for production -->
    <appender name="JSON_CONSOLE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
        <encoder class="net.logstash.logback.encoder.LogstashEncoder">
            <!-- Custom fields added to every log -->
            <customFields>{"service":"${appName}","version":"${appVersion}"}</customFields>
            <!-- Includes MDC (tracing context) -->
            <includeMdcKeyName>traceId</includeMdcKeyName>
            <includeMdcKeyName>spanId</includeMdcKeyName>
            <includeMdcKeyName>userId</includeMdcKeyName>
            <includeMdcKeyName>requestId</includeMdcKeyName>
            <!-- ISO8601 timestamp format -->
            <timestampPattern>yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ</timestampPattern>
            <!-- Complete stack traces -->
            <throwableConverter class="net.logstash.logback.stacktrace.ShortenedThrowableConverter">
                <maxDepthPerThrowable>30</maxDepthPerThrowable>
                <maxLength>4096</maxLength>
                <shortenedClassNameLength>36</shortenedClassNameLength>
                <rootCauseFirst>true</rootCauseFirst>
            </throwableConverter>
        </encoder>
    </appender>

    <!-- Rolling JSON file appender -->
    <appender name="JSON_FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
        <file>/var/log/${appName}/application.json</file>
        <rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
            <fileNamePattern>/var/log/${appName}/application.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.%i.json.gz</fileNamePattern>
            <maxHistory>30</maxHistory>
            <maxFileSize>100MB</maxFileSize>
            <totalSizeCap>3GB</totalSizeCap>
        </rollingPolicy>
        <encoder class="net.logstash.logback.encoder.LogstashEncoder">
            <customFields>{"service":"${appName}","version":"${appVersion}"}</customFields>
        </encoder>
    </appender>

    <!-- Text appender for development -->
    <appender name="TEXT_CONSOLE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
        <encoder>
            <pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} %highlight(%-5level) [%thread] %cyan(%logger{36}) - %msg%n</pattern>
        </encoder>
    </appender>

    <!-- Activation by Spring profile -->
    <springProfile name="prod,staging">
        <root level="INFO">
            <appender-ref ref="JSON_CONSOLE"/>
            <appender-ref ref="JSON_FILE"/>
        </root>
    </springProfile>

    <springProfile name="dev,local">
        <root level="DEBUG">
            <appender-ref ref="TEXT_CONSOLE"/>
        </root>
    </springProfile>
</configuration>
```

Esta configuración activa los logs JSON únicamente en producción y conserva logs legibles en desarrollo.

> **Perfiles Spring**
>
> El uso de `<springProfile>` permite alternar automáticamente entre formato texto y JSON según el entorno, sin modificar la configuración.

## MDC para tracing distribuido

### Propagación del contexto de trace

MDC (Mapped Diagnostic Context) enriquece cada log con información de contexto como los identificadores de petición o de trace.

```java
// TracingFilter.java
// Filter for automatic trace context injection
package com.example.logging.filter;

import jakarta.servlet.FilterChain;
import jakarta.servlet.ServletException;
import jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import org.slf4j.MDC;
import org.springframework.core.Ordered;
import org.springframework.core.annotation.Order;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
import org.springframework.web.filter.OncePerRequestFilter;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.UUID;

@Component
@Order(Ordered.HIGHEST_PRECEDENCE)
public class TracingFilter extends OncePerRequestFilter {

    // Standard MDC keys for tracing
    private static final String TRACE_ID_KEY = "traceId";
    private static final String SPAN_ID_KEY = "spanId";
    private static final String REQUEST_ID_KEY = "requestId";
    private static final String USER_ID_KEY = "userId";

    @Override
    protected void doFilterInternal(
            HttpServletRequest request,
            HttpServletResponse response,
            FilterChain filterChain) throws ServletException, IOException {

        try {
            // Retrieve or generate trace identifiers
            String traceId = extractOrGenerate(request, "X-Trace-Id", TRACE_ID_KEY);
            String spanId = generateSpanId();
            String requestId = extractOrGenerate(request, "X-Request-Id", REQUEST_ID_KEY);
            String userId = request.getHeader("X-User-Id");

            // Inject into MDC to appear in all logs
            MDC.put(TRACE_ID_KEY, traceId);
            MDC.put(SPAN_ID_KEY, spanId);
            MDC.put(REQUEST_ID_KEY, requestId);
            if (userId != null) {
                MDC.put(USER_ID_KEY, userId);
            }

            // Propagate to responses for inter-service chaining
            response.setHeader("X-Trace-Id", traceId);
            response.setHeader("X-Request-Id", requestId);

            filterChain.doFilter(request, response);

        } finally {
            // Clean MDC after each request
            MDC.clear();
        }
    }

    private String extractOrGenerate(HttpServletRequest request, String header, String key) {
        String value = request.getHeader(header);
        return value != null ? value : UUID.randomUUID().toString().replace("-", "").substring(0, 16);
    }

    private String generateSpanId() {
        return UUID.randomUUID().toString().replace("-", "").substring(0, 8);
    }
}
```

Cada log emitido durante el procesamiento de la petición contendrá automáticamente estos identificadores.

### Uso de MDC en código de negocio

```java
// OrderService.java
// Business service with enriched contextual logging
package com.example.service;

import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
import org.slf4j.MDC;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;

@Service
public class OrderService {

    private static final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(OrderService.class);

    public Order createOrder(CreateOrderRequest request) {
        // Add business information to MDC context
        MDC.put("orderId", request.getOrderId());
        MDC.put("customerId", request.getCustomerId());

        try {
            log.info("Creating order with {} items", request.getItems().size());

            // Business logic...
            Order order = processOrder(request);

            log.info("Order created successfully, total: {} {}",
                order.getTotal(), order.getCurrency());

            return order;

        } catch (Exception e) {
            // Exception appears with full MDC context
            log.error("Failed to create order", e);
            throw e;
        } finally {
            // Clean business keys added
            MDC.remove("orderId");
            MDC.remove("customerId");
        }
    }
}
```

El log JSON resultante contiene toda la información necesaria para el debugging:

```json
{
  "@timestamp": "2026-03-27T10:15:32.456Z",
  "level": "INFO",
  "logger": "com.example.service.OrderService",
  "message": "Order created successfully, total: 150.00 EUR",
  "traceId": "a1b2c3d4e5f67890",
  "spanId": "12345678",
  "requestId": "req-abc-123",
  "userId": "user-456",
  "orderId": "ORD-789",
  "customerId": "CUST-321"
}
```

## Logging asíncrono para rendimiento

### Configuración del thread pool

En producción, las escrituras síncronas de logs impactan la latencia de las peticiones. El appender asíncrono desacopla el logging del hilo principal.

```xml
<!-- logback-spring.xml -->
<!-- High-performance asynchronous appender configuration -->
<appender name="ASYNC_JSON" class="ch.qos.logback.classic.AsyncAppender">
    <!-- Pending log buffer size -->
    <queueSize>1024</queueSize>
    <!-- Never block the calling thread -->
    <neverBlock>true</neverBlock>
    <!-- Threshold before dropping DEBUG/TRACE logs -->
    <discardingThreshold>20</discardingThreshold>
    <!-- Include caller information (expensive) -->
    <includeCallerData>false</includeCallerData>
    <!-- Actual appender for writing -->
    <appender-ref ref="JSON_FILE"/>
</appender>

<springProfile name="prod">
    <root level="INFO">
        <appender-ref ref="ASYNC_JSON"/>
    </root>
</springProfile>
```

### Métricas del sistema de logging

Monitorear el propio sistema de logging evita la pérdida silenciosa de logs.

```java
// LoggingMetrics.java
// Exposing Logback metrics via Micrometer
package com.example.logging.metrics;

import ch.qos.logback.classic.Logger;
import ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext;
import ch.qos.logback.classic.spi.ILoggingEvent;
import ch.qos.logback.core.Appender;
import ch.qos.logback.classic.AsyncAppender;
import io.micrometer.core.instrument.Gauge;
import io.micrometer.core.instrument.MeterRegistry;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;

import jakarta.annotation.PostConstruct;
import java.util.Iterator;

@Component
public class LoggingMetrics {

    private final MeterRegistry registry;

    public LoggingMetrics(MeterRegistry registry) {
        this.registry = registry;
    }

    @PostConstruct
    void registerMetrics() {
        LoggerContext context = (LoggerContext) LoggerFactory.getILoggerFactory();
        Logger rootLogger = context.getLogger(Logger.ROOT_LOGGER_NAME);

        // Iterate through appenders to find AsyncAppenders
        Iterator<Appender<ILoggingEvent>> it = rootLogger.iteratorForAppenders();
        while (it.hasNext()) {
            Appender<ILoggingEvent> appender = it.next();
            if (appender instanceof AsyncAppender asyncAppender) {
                registerAsyncMetrics(asyncAppender);
            }
        }
    }

    private void registerAsyncMetrics(AsyncAppender appender) {
        String appenderName = appender.getName();

        // Current queue size
        Gauge.builder("logback.async.queue.size", appender, AsyncAppender::getQueueSize)
            .tag("appender", appenderName)
            .description("Current async appender queue size")
            .register(registry);

        // Remaining capacity
        Gauge.builder("logback.async.queue.remaining", appender, AsyncAppender::getRemainingCapacity)
            .tag("appender", appenderName)
            .description("Remaining capacity in async queue")
            .register(registry);

        // Number of dropped logs
        Gauge.builder("logback.async.discarded", appender, AsyncAppender::getNumberOfElementsInQueue)
            .tag("appender", appenderName)
            .description("Number of discarded log events")
            .register(registry);
    }
}
```

Una alerta Prometheus sobre `logback.async.queue.remaining < 100` advierte de los riesgos de pérdida de logs.

## Integración con ELK Stack

### Configuración de Filebeat

Filebeat recoge los archivos JSON y los envía a Elasticsearch sin transformación.

```yaml
# filebeat.yml
# Filebeat configuration for Spring Boot JSON logs
filebeat.inputs:
  - type: log
    enabled: true
    paths:
      - /var/log/*/application.json
    # Automatic JSON parsing
    json:
      keys_under_root: true
      overwrite_keys: true
      add_error_key: true
      message_key: message

processors:
  # Add Kubernetes metadata if available
  - add_kubernetes_metadata:
      host: ${NODE_NAME}
      matchers:
        - logs_path:
            logs_path: "/var/log/containers/"
  # Parse timestamp
  - timestamp:
      field: "@timestamp"
      layouts:
        - '2006-01-02T15:04:05.000Z'
        - '2006-01-02T15:04:05.000-07:00'
      test:
        - '2026-03-27T10:15:32.456Z'

output.elasticsearch:
  hosts: ["elasticsearch:9200"]
  index: "logs-%{[service]}-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}"
  pipeline: "spring-boot-logs"

setup.template:
  name: "logs"
  pattern: "logs-*"
```

### Pipeline Elasticsearch para enriquecimiento

```json
// PUT _ingest/pipeline/spring-boot-logs
{
  "description": "Spring Boot logs enrichment",
  "processors": [
    {
      "geoip": {
        "field": "client.ip",
        "target_field": "client.geo",
        "ignore_missing": true
      }
    },
    {
      "user_agent": {
        "field": "user_agent.original",
        "target_field": "user_agent",
        "ignore_missing": true
      }
    },
    {
      "set": {
        "field": "event.ingested",
        "value": "{{_ingest.timestamp}}"
      }
    },
    {
      "script": {
        "description": "Classify log level severity",
        "source": """
          def level = ctx.level;
          if (level == 'ERROR') ctx.severity = 4;
          else if (level == 'WARN') ctx.severity = 3;
          else if (level == 'INFO') ctx.severity = 2;
          else ctx.severity = 1;
        """
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

## Mejores prácticas en producción

### Información que debe incluirse de forma sistemática

Cada log debe contener un mínimo de información para el debugging y la correlación.

```java
// StructuredLogger.java
// Helper for consistent structured logs
package com.example.logging;

import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
import org.slf4j.MDC;

import java.util.Map;
import java.util.function.Supplier;

public final class StructuredLogger {

    private final Logger delegate;

    private StructuredLogger(Class<?> clazz) {
        this.delegate = LoggerFactory.getLogger(clazz);
    }

    public static StructuredLogger getLogger(Class<?> clazz) {
        return new StructuredLogger(clazz);
    }

    // Log with temporary business context
    public void info(String message, Map<String, String> context) {
        try {
            context.forEach(MDC::put);
            delegate.info(message);
        } finally {
            context.keySet().forEach(MDC::remove);
        }
    }

    // Log with supplier for lazy evaluation
    public void debug(Supplier<String> messageSupplier, Map<String, String> context) {
        if (delegate.isDebugEnabled()) {
            try {
                context.forEach(MDC::put);
                delegate.debug(messageSupplier.get());
            } finally {
                context.keySet().forEach(MDC::remove);
            }
        }
    }

    // Error log with full context
    public void error(String message, Throwable t, Map<String, String> context) {
        try {
            context.forEach(MDC::put);
            delegate.error(message, t);
        } finally {
            context.keySet().forEach(MDC::remove);
        }
    }
}
```

```java
// Usage in business code
private static final StructuredLogger log = StructuredLogger.getLogger(PaymentService.class);

public void processPayment(Payment payment) {
    log.info("Processing payment", Map.of(
        "paymentId", payment.getId(),
        "amount", String.valueOf(payment.getAmount()),
        "currency", payment.getCurrency(),
        "method", payment.getMethod().name()
    ));
}
```

### Información sensible que debe excluirse

Los logs nunca deben contener datos personales o sensibles.

```java
// SensitiveDataFilter.java
// Sensitive data masking filter
package com.example.logging.filter;

import ch.qos.logback.classic.spi.ILoggingEvent;
import ch.qos.logback.core.filter.Filter;
import ch.qos.logback.core.spi.FilterReply;

import java.util.regex.Pattern;

public class SensitiveDataFilter extends Filter<ILoggingEvent> {

    // Sensitive data patterns to mask
    private static final Pattern EMAIL_PATTERN =
        Pattern.compile("[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}");
    private static final Pattern CREDIT_CARD_PATTERN =
        Pattern.compile("\\b\\d{4}[- ]?\\d{4}[- ]?\\d{4}[- ]?\\d{4}\\b");
    private static final Pattern PASSWORD_PATTERN =
        Pattern.compile("(?i)(password|pwd|secret|token)[\"']?\\s*[:=]\\s*[\"']?[^\\s,}\"']+");
    private static final Pattern PHONE_PATTERN =
        Pattern.compile("\\+?\\d{1,3}[- ]?\\d{6,14}");

    @Override
    public FilterReply decide(ILoggingEvent event) {
        // Accept all logs but modify the message
        // Note: for real masking, use a custom converter
        return FilterReply.NEUTRAL;
    }

    // Utility method to mask data
    public static String maskSensitiveData(String input) {
        if (input == null) return null;

        String result = input;
        result = EMAIL_PATTERN.matcher(result).replaceAll("[EMAIL_MASKED]");
        result = CREDIT_CARD_PATTERN.matcher(result).replaceAll("[CARD_MASKED]");
        result = PASSWORD_PATTERN.matcher(result).replaceAll("$1=[REDACTED]");
        result = PHONE_PATTERN.matcher(result).replaceAll("[PHONE_MASKED]");

        return result;
    }
}
```

### Niveles de log adecuados

```java
// LogLevelGuidelines.java
// Appropriate log level guidelines
package com.example.logging;

public class LogLevelGuidelines {

    // ERROR: Failure requiring intervention
    // - Unrecoverable exceptions
    // - Critical transaction failures
    // - External service unavailability
    log.error("Payment gateway unreachable after 3 retries", exception);

    // WARN: Abnormal but handled situation
    // - Retry in progress
    // - Performance degradation
    // - Resources near limits
    log.warn("Database connection pool at 85% capacity");

    // INFO: Significant business events
    // - Transaction start/end
    // - Important state changes
    // - Key user actions
    log.info("Order {} shipped to customer {}", orderId, customerId);

    // DEBUG: Diagnostic information
    // - Execution details
    // - Important variable values
    // - Branching decisions
    log.debug("Cache miss for key {}, fetching from database", cacheKey);

    // TRACE: Very fine details
    // - Method entry/exit
    // - Complete object contents
    // - Loops and iterations
    log.trace("Processing item {} of {}", index, total);
}
```

## Pruebas y validación de logs

### Tests unitarios sobre la estructura JSON

```java
// StructuredLoggingTest.java
// Structured log validation tests
package com.example.logging;

import ch.qos.logback.classic.Logger;
import ch.qos.logback.classic.spi.ILoggingEvent;
import ch.qos.logback.core.read.ListAppender;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonNode;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.BeforeEach;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
import org.slf4j.MDC;

import static org.assertj.core.api.Assertions.assertThat;

class StructuredLoggingTest {

    private ListAppender<ILoggingEvent> listAppender;
    private Logger logger;
    private ObjectMapper objectMapper;

    @BeforeEach
    void setUp() {
        logger = (Logger) LoggerFactory.getLogger(StructuredLoggingTest.class);
        listAppender = new ListAppender<>();
        listAppender.start();
        logger.addAppender(listAppender);
        objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
    }

    @Test
    void shouldIncludeMdcFieldsInLog() {
        // Given
        MDC.put("traceId", "test-trace-123");
        MDC.put("userId", "user-456");

        // When
        logger.info("Test message with MDC context");

        // Then
        ILoggingEvent event = listAppender.list.get(0);
        assertThat(event.getMDCPropertyMap())
            .containsEntry("traceId", "test-trace-123")
            .containsEntry("userId", "user-456");

        MDC.clear();
    }

    @Test
    void shouldLogExceptionWithStackTrace() {
        // Given
        Exception testException = new RuntimeException("Test error");

        // When
        logger.error("Operation failed", testException);

        // Then
        ILoggingEvent event = listAppender.list.get(0);
        assertThat(event.getThrowableProxy()).isNotNull();
        assertThat(event.getThrowableProxy().getMessage()).isEqualTo("Test error");
    }
}
```

## Conclusión

Los logs estructurados en JSON transforman la observabilidad de las aplicaciones Spring Boot:

✅ **Consultables**: cada campo se vuelve filtrable en Elasticsearch o CloudWatch

✅ **Correlacionables**: MDC propaga los identificadores de trace entre servicios

✅ **Eficientes**: el appender asíncrono desacopla el logging del procesamiento

✅ **Seguros**: el enmascaramiento de datos sensibles asegura el cumplimiento del RGPD

✅ **Integrados**: compatibilidad nativa con ELK Stack, Datadog, Splunk

✅ **Alertables**: los campos estructurados permiten reglas de alerta precisas

✅ **Mantenibles**: el formato JSON elimina las regex de parsing frágiles

Este enfoque constituye la base de la observabilidad moderna, junto con las métricas (Micrometer) y el tracing distribuido (OpenTelemetry).
