--------------------------------

             Summary: Add a tutorial for distributed logging
                 Key: LOG4J2-483
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-483
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Documentation
          Components: Documentation
            Reporter: Tal Liron


The tutorial should acknowledge two common distributed scenarios with example 
configurations:

1) Logging to a database (SQL, NoSQL) via the dedicated appenders
2) Logging to a Log4j server via SocketAppender

The tutorial should specifically address the issue of adding the origin 
information (IP address) to the log message, which is necessary in most 
distributed logging deployments. As Ralph Goers suggest in issue #LOG4J2-476, 
there are two good solutions:

1) Use a RewriteAppender with a PropertiesRewritePolicy to inject an 
environment variable (such as HOSTNAME) to the contextMap
2) Add properties to specific loggers or the root logger
