Jorge Sanchez commented on LOG4J2-2062:
---------------------------------------
[~mikaelstaldal] Do you mind if I set the key as an attribute and update the
documentation and I create another ticket for the lookups? It's just that it
seems a little bit more complex than what I've done here and I don't want to
mess things up.
Thanks.

> Reporter: Jorge Sanchez
> Assignee: Mikael Ståldal

> via configuration instead of having it null.
