Alexander K. commented on LOG4J2-1724:
--------------------------------------
Yes, I will do it. The reason of doing this on 2.6.2 is that the latest Spring
Boot Log4j2 release is integrated with this version and they are going to
upgrade to Log4j 2.7 only in the next major release and this will take couple
of months.

> 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
