Bug #96281 for Log-Any-App: feature request: custom extra fields

Subject:	feature request: custom extra fields

Hello, I'd like to be able to pass arbitrary string as an extra field and access it using pattern like "[requestid pid %P] [%d] %m%n". Sometimes it's hard to locate desired log lines using only timestamps/pid but it becomes simple once you've added some request id or similar field. Moreover by passing this id value through different parts of distributed system you can track the whole flow easily. Using Log4perl it's possible via MDC feature by putting value Log::Log4perl::MDC->put("request_id", $req->headers("X-Request-Id")); and adding %X{request_id} to appender's ConversionPattern -- Best regards, Kirill

I believe this wishlist should be redirected to Log-Any, as Log::Any the one doing the formatting (specifically, in Log::Any::Adapter::Core). Remember that Log::Any::App is just a wrapper/shortcut for using Log::Any + Log::Log4perl adapter. BTW, Log::Any is currently just using Perl's sprintf(). Closing this ticket as rejected for now.

Wait, I'm a little confused, are you referring to Log::Any::App's pattern? If so, then it's all Log::Log4perl now anyway. If not, please explain more clearly what you meant with some example code.
