Is it possible to get request header information into JBoss logging

[nguyena1]

With JBoss 7

In the past I've success fully extracted a field from my request headers to be put in our access-logs with with a syntax like so: %{hostName}i

Anyone know of a quick and easy way to put header field into my regular logs?  I tried adding it to the pattern-formatter as a shot in the dark but at runtime it says that's not a valid parameter.  I'd like every syserr logged line to have the hostname field which is in the header of my Rest calls coming into my jboss rest api.

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:logging:1.1">

            <console-handler name="CONSOLE">

                <level name="INFO"/>

                <formatter>

                    <pattern-formatter pattern="%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p [%c] (%t) %s%E%n %{hostName}i"/>

                </formatter>

            </console-handler>

            <periodic-rotating-file-handler name="FILE">

                <formatter>

                    <pattern-formatter pattern="%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p [%c] (%t) %s%E%n tony %{hostName}i"/>

                </formatter>

                <file relative-to="jboss.server.log.dir" path="server.log"/>

                <suffix value=".yyyy-MM-dd"/>

                <append value="true"/>

            </periodic-rotating-file-handler>

Access logging isn't controlled by the logging subsystem so there's nothing you can put in the pattern to see the host name. There may be a way to set the value using org.jboss.logging.MDC, but I'm not sure what the best way to handle that would be.

If you want access logging have a look at Fetching Client IP Address and Header information in JBoss AS7 access log « JBoss.
