Will Hains commented on LOG4J2-1074:
------------------------------------

Yes, I was wondering about that. You're exactly right wrt what we want. And I 
had the same idea about initialising it in the {{LogEvent}} if it is used 
downstream by one of the appenders, but didn't want to suggest it unless there 
is no other choice...

Maybe start by always initialising it in the {{LogEvent}}, and let your 
performance tests tell us whether that is a bad idea or not, then go from there?

> Add a token in the log format specifier to output the current value of 
> {{System.nanotime()}}.
> We are currently adding the nanotime value to our log messages manually, 
> which we find very useful for troubleshooting unexpected latency, and as a 
> quick-and-dirty data source to feed into performance analysis tools.
> It would be very nice if Log4j could do this for us. It would also be nice to 
> have this in the log format specified, so we can turn it on/off at runtime by 
> editing the Log4j config file.
