[Bro] Writing JSON logs

[Tritium Cat]

Bro,

I made a patch for the Ascii log writer to write the logs in JSON format.
 This was thanks to the existing code from the ElasticSearch writer and
copy/paste skill.

But when I try to enable the writer at runtime there are errors.  Why ?

See patch.  ( cd bro-2.2; patch -p1 < bro--write_json.patch )

Thanks,

--TC


event bro_init()
{
        LogAscii::write_json=T;
}

results in
