             Summary: Improve formatter capability: System resources, thread ID and minified category
                 Key: LOGMGR-64
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/LOGMGR-64
             Project: JBoss Log Manager
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: core
    Affects Versions: 1.3.2.Final
         Environment: JBoss EAP 6.0.1
            Reporter: Jeremy KUHN

             Fix For: 1.3.2.Final


Hello,

We are currently developing a major JEE application running on multiple JBoss EAP 6.0.1 instances in a service oriented architecture.

The current implementation of JBoss-logmanager (1.3.2.Final) shipped with JBoss EAP doesn't provide the functionality we require in term of logging formatting.

We are missing:
- Thread ID (Thread names are too long and of different length that disturb the reading of logs)
- we haven't find a way to get the hostname displayed in the logs, a simple solution would be to be able to include System properties and therefore the jboss.host.name property in the pattern. System properties would also be interesting to identified the log coming from a specific application (we'll have one application deployed per JBoss instance). Ideally, we'd like to have the ability to provide a context name to know which application has logged the event but this seems to have been delivered with logging profiles.
- logback has this interesting feature that lets you minify the log category: instead of org.jboss.logmanager.config.ConfigAction you'll get o.j.l.c.ConfigAction which is more readable in the logs.

Regards
