Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by locating the current XML log-output path, then determine which requested formats are in scope: JSON or key-value standards such as LEF, LEEF, and CEF. Done requires an agreed format scope and verified output behavior for the selected format.

Description
Is it possible for this project to get JSON support? Windows Sysmon with XML is auto-handled by most log agents to abstract the XML parsing away. However, Linux log agents do not account for this. While I don't think it's a huge deal I believe it would help the community more readily consume these logs if they supported other log formats outside of XML.
Examples:
- JSON
- key-value pairs (base pairs or a standard like LEF, LEEF, or CEF)
Regardless, in its current format, Sysmon for Linux is a huge blessing to the community regardless of the above. I'm just submitting this as a possible feature request.
