Do you really need a rotation of the log files here? Wouldn't it be
better to grab the position of the current log file with a fixed log
file name, and then slurp the file from this position with your
expected output? That would make the test faster, as well.

Rather than making elog.c larger, I think that we should try to split
that into more files. Why not refactoring out the CSV part first?
You could just call that csvlog.c, then create a new jsonlog.c for the
meat of the patch.
The list of fields is not up to date. At quick glance, you are
missing:
- backend type.
- leader PID.
- query ID.
- Session start timestamp (?)
