Hi Jason,
How's it going? In my example, I am setting the name of the thread
that's doing the logging, but it's not the name that's published in
the log record. I'm guessing the handler set in GF is using a separate
thread to actually write to the log file, and was wondering why or if
that's what's going on. Or if there's some other setting I can use so
that my thread name shows up. Or something....
Cheers,
Bobby
