Beschreibung
Add a technical pattern for structured logging. This was previously submitted as a [PR](https://github.com/ContainerSolutions/cloud-native-patterns/pull/9) but it was felt that it needed some more work. The original pattern submission markdown is included below.

description: A way to get information about what is going on with your application in a structured form.

Structured Logging can provide critical information that helps you quickly determine which function is causing the issue.
## In This Context:
Once you’re alerted to the fact that something is wrong in your production environment, the next step is to determine what causes the problem. For this Logging is used.
## Therefore:
Forwarding of all exceptions to a centralized system that aggregates and tracks exceptions.
Based on standard RFC 5424 on how to log from applications, setup of the severity of logs is required and only severity 0 or 1 are events which should trigger an alarm:
- 0 Emergency: the system is unusable
- 1 Alert: action must be taken immediately
- 2 Critical: critical conditions
- 3 Error: error
- 4 Warning: warning
- 5 Notice: normal but significant
- 6 Informational: informational
- 7 Debug: debug-level messages
As the RFC is a standard there are standard libraries available for different programming languages/frameworks. Logging itself an agnostic practice and is not coupled to the programming language or framework in use.
## Consequently
