NetBox version

v3.4.4

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Netbox currently logs in plain text, this makes it hard to extract metadata out of the application logs.

The change logs in netbox are a great example of how i suggest application logs should be formatted, this shouldn't necessarily be the default, but adding an option to format in JSON would be very helpful.

Use case

If the application logs were formatted in JSON you would be able to extract metadata much more easily.
The metadata could be of great help when troubleshooting application errors.

Database changes

N/A

External dependencies

As far as i know there are 2 libraries that could solve this:
https://pypi.org/project/JSON-log-formatter/
https://github.com/madzak/python-json-logger

You can configure the logging format however you'd like, including by setting a custom handler, by modifying the LOGGING configuration parameter.
