Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
No

Describe the solution you'd like
I was following the getting started page https://opentelemetry.io/docs. I noticed the java logging exporter printing everything in single line, which is a bit hard to read. I think this would be handy feature to have.

Describe alternatives you've considered
One workaround I can think of is to send the data to a collector to see some indented console logs.
