Why I see "null" statements in between logs (With Filter class extended from OncePerRequestFilter)

I have added a Filter class which extends OncePerRequestFilter and whenever API's get called along with normal log statements I see null statements.

Sharing logback.xml configuration and Request Filter code is straight forward which logs collect some informations and log the statements.

Why this happens any help will be appreciated.
