Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-476:
------------------------------------
I am unsure what is being asked here. Why is setting a ThreadContext key named
"hostname" to the correct hostname insufficient?
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/eventlogging.html shows something
similar to what was done with my former employer.

> 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.
