Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-1074:
-------------------------------------

Can you measure the overhead of calling System.nanoTime() on each event. It 
would be nice to document that in the case where a user enables it. My guess is 
that it will still be inconsequential compared to the I/O overhead, but it is 
still nice to know.

> 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.
