Enabling JSON formatted logs for AMQP

To enable JSON format error logging, you need to modify the AMQP configuration files amqptraceOn.properties and amqptraceOff.properties.

About this task

You can configure JSON format logging to be used exclusively, or simultaneously, alongside text-based error logging.

Note: Once you have modified the configuration files, you need to restart the AMQP service for any changes to come into effect.

To enable JSON format logging exclusively, modify the amqptraceOn.properties and amqptraceOff.properties configuration files and update the handlers property as follows:
```
handlers= com.ibm.mq.util.logging.MQJSONErrorLogFileHandler
```
To enable JSON format logging simultaneously alongside text-based error logging, modify the amqptraceOn.properties and amqptraceOff.properties configuration files and update the handlers property as follows:
```
handlers= com.ibm.mq.util.logging.MQErrorLogFileHandler, com.ibm.mq.util.logging.MQJSONErrorLogFileHandler
```

In either case, this enables JSON format error logging, and configures the logger with its following default properties:

Functionally, these properties work identically to the text-based error logger configured by the com.ibm.mq.util.logging.MQErrorLogFileHandler.
