<p class="MsoNormal">Hi slf4j users<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a class that communicates (i.e. sending commands) with remote nodes. I can create multiple instances of this class, where each instance communicates with a specific host.
I use a Logger object to log each command. My problem is that the command does not show which node it is sent to. What would be the best way to prefix the log message with an id that identifies which node is the receiver of a command? I’m trying to avoid “manually”
prefixing the log message for each logger call.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The below example is a simplified version. In reality there are plenty logger calls, many different types of nodes, different types of communication. Etc.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have tried using the MDC, but effectively, due to its static context, I need to surround each logger call with,:<u></u><u></u></p>
