The GlobalContext provides a location for global debugging information to be stored.

The global context has a properties map and these properties can be included in the output of log messages. The PatternLayout supports selecting and outputing these properties.

By default the log4net:HostName property is set to the name of the current machine.

GlobalContext.Properties["hostname"] = Environment.MachineName;

GlobalContext.Properties["hostname"] = Environment.MachineName;
