ok to test

Can this move forward? This is causing us significant problems in our environment

This will need a changelog entry.

@ph could you also take a look to this change? Thanks!

LGTM, need a changelog entry and a test

Not having this is causing issues in our environment as its basically impossible to tell where the log message that is invalid came from...

@candlerb could you add the test and the changelog entry? If you don't have time it is ok, we can also continue with this change.

Thanks!

Sorry, at the time I couldn't see an easy way to add a test to this without big refactoring, in a codebase I wasn't familiar with.

I am continuing with this in #15453.

@candlerb I will add you as co-author, thanks for starting with this!
