Research direction

Start by reading the existing logA functionality and the Snap server configuration path mentioned in the issue, then review the linked Stack Overflow discussion and issue comments for the intended extension point. Done means callers can inject custom access-log formatting, including JSON, without changing Snap Server internals.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

feature

I have been reading through the code and I am pretty sure that I need to override the logA method in order to get custom logging support. I asked a question on SO about it just in case.

But I don't think that I can currently override this logA functionality without changing the code inside of Snap Server. If this is correct then, for this issue, it would be great if I could inject a method into the snap server configuration that would intercept the access log generation and let me write my own access log lines in a custom format.
