Add support for escaping chars in APLogConf CRD #2601
Description
I am setting up my logs as json and I would like to escape certain charts. It is possible as explained here https://docs.nginx.com/nginx-app-protect/configuration-guide/configuration/#log-with-escaped-character-and-custom-list-prefix--delimiter--suffix
However, looking at https://github.com/nginxinc/kubernetes-ingress/blob/main/deployments/helm-chart/crds/appprotect.f5.com_aplogconfs.yaml, it is clearly not supported :(
Adding support for the following keys under content
apiVersion: appprotect.f5.com/v1beta1
kind: APLogConf
metadata:
name: ap-logs-conf-json
namespace: nginx-ingress
spec:
filter:
request_type: illegal
content:
format: user-defined
format_string: "my json format goes here"
max_request_size: any
max_message_size: 5k
escaping_characters:
- from: '"'
to: '\"'
list_prefix: "["
list_delimiter: ","
list_suffix: "]"
As a workaround I am using Promtail pipelines-stages (regex, and template stages) to format the logs and do the escaping myself, which is annoying to be honest.
