> Hello,
> I would like to suggest the following improvements for GelfLayout:
> 1. Using variables in additional fields at runtime. For example resolving
> "value": "$$\{ctx:key\}" at runtime as it is done in other places. Thus,
> custom lookups will be available as well.
> 2. Having an indicator includeThreadContext to control whether the contents
> of the ThreadContext should be included. Sometimes it is usable to include
> only some of its values and then it will be available using the first
> suggested improvement by specific variable resolution.
> 3. Resolving HOST attribute in case it is not provided by using for example
> InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName().
> Regards,
> Alexander
