Logging Stack Traces

Logging Stack Traces

This library provides the possibility to log stack traces within one log message. This facilitates debugging significantly, because the complete stack trace can be read in the correct order and does not need to be retrieved from numerous single and unordered log messages. This library does also consider limitations imposed by the logging pipeline. These limitations would prevent very large stack traces from being written to Elasticsearch. If a stack trace exceeds a total size of 55kB, it will therefore not be logged entirely. Since the interesting lines of a stack trace are usually situated in its first and in its last part, we will remove as few lines as necessary from its middle part whereby the last remaining part will have twice the size of the first part.
