RE: Log the machine name.

Is there a plan to provide a mechanism similar to MDC that will be
available to all threads. In some cases, such as the machine name
example here, this can be quite useful.

Jeff,

There isn't a conversion pattern for the machine name but there are a
number
of ways of doing this depending on your situation.

If you are using the Remoting, SMTP, SmtpPickupDir or Udp appenders then
the
host name is stored in an event property.

If you are using 1.2.0 up to beta7 then the property is called
"hostname" if
you are using 1.2.0 beta8 then it is "log4net:HostName".

You can use the %P{log4net:HostName} pattern to read this value.


If you are not using one of these appenders you will need to manually
pass
the hostname into log4net. The best place to store it is in the mapped
diagnostic context, MDC. This is a thread local map of values. You can
do
this:

MDC.Set("hostname", Environment.MachineName);

This must be done for each thread that calls into log4net.

Use the %X{hostname} pattern to read the value.

Cheers,

Nicko
