             Summary: Add source host to log event for distributed logging
                 Key: LOG4J2-476
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-476
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 2.0-beta9
            Reporter: Tal Liron
            Priority: Critical


It's absolutely necessary to support this: when logging centrally, you *need* 
to know from where the log message arrived. I've marked the issue as critical, 
because log4j is not very useful without it in distributed environments. If you 
don't know where the log message came from, it's close to worthless.

This applies at least to all classes that inherit from 
AbstractDatabaseAppender, but I think the solution should be more generic: 
developers might create their own appenders that would require this 
information. It can be handled, I think, in the same way as 
LogEvent.setIncludeLocation: allow all loggers to include this information if 
configured to do so.
