------------------------------------
Summary: Using variables in GelfLayout's additional fields at
runtime
Key: LOG4J2-1724
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1724
Project: Log4j 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Layouts
Affects Versions: 2.7, 2.6.2
Reporter: Alexander K.
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
