Change oversized blob logging

Jessie Young requested to merge jy-kibana-keys into master

What does this MR do and why?

  • Previously, the keys of the log value were the blob.id, which is variable. The blob.id was a key in the value hash, but Kibana un-nests value hashes and returns each key in the hash as a new nested log key (with a . in the middle`).
  • So JSON logging blob_detail: { 1234: abcd } from the monolith shows up as a blob_detail.1234 key in Kibana.
  • Using variable key names in kibana means that each new oversized blog log line was creating a new searchable key, which clogged up our list of available keys to be an unwieldy list.
  • This fixes #435117 (closed)
