+    # The Lograge encoder formats the log event in the original key-value format
+    # of the [lograge gem](https://github.com/roidrage/lograge).
+    #
+    # The fields of the passed event are serielized to simple `key=value` pairs,
+    # separated by a single space each. The following formatting rules apply:
+    #
+    # * Field names for nested Hashes and Arrays are separated by a dot to form
+    #   a unique key name
+    # * Arrays are formatted the same as nested hashes, using the value's index
+    #   in the array in the field name for each value.
+    # * Floats are formatted with 2 decimal digits
+    # * Newlines, dots, equals signs or spaces in keys and values are preserved
+    #   and not escaped in any way (apart from the `"error"` field, see below).
+    #   You might thus want to avoid any whitespace charactes in general and
+    #   dots or equals signs in hash keys. You can use filters in your {Flow} to
+    #   ensure suitable field names.
+    # * The `"message"` and `"error_trace"` fields are never included in the
+    #   output.
+    # * If there is an error in the event hash, we will generate a quoted string
+    #   from the `"error"` and `"error_message"` fields.
+    #
+    # Given the following event
+    #
+    #     {
+    #       "@timestamp" => Time.utc(2017, 4, 18, 23, 21, 58),
+    #       "message" => ["This is ignored"],
+    #       "foo" => ["bar", "baz"],
+    #       "beep" => {
+    #         "pling" => "plong",
+    #         "toot" => "chirp"
+    #       },
+    #       "runtime" => 3.14159
+    #     }
+    #
+    # the encoder will output the following log line:
+    #
+    #     timestamp=2017-04-18T23:21:58.000000Z foo.0=bar foo.1=baz beep.pling=plong beep.toot=chirp runtime=3.14
+    #
+    # With an error in the event hash, e.g. like this
+    #
+    #     {
+    #       "@timestamp" => Time.utc(2017, 4, 18, 23, 21, 58),
