Thanks Bertrand!! 

Would sure add some testcase as soon as I get some time. As the logic is pretty small I tried it on a running Sling instance and it works as expected. Bug should not be closed untill then :)

Would sure add some testcase as soon as I get some time to validate the implementation (which anyway is quite small). Bug should not be closed untill then :)

> With Commons Log moving to Logback its possible to use MDC [1] support of SLF4J in Sling to get better logs and also enable better filtering of logs. The patch adds a new extension module which registers a {{MDCInsertingFilter}}. This filter can extract information from incoming request and add them to the MDC
> Features supported
> 1. By default expose details like Request path, Query String etc based on [3]
> 2. Exposes OSGi config where one can define what HTTP Header, Parameter or Cookie needs to be added to MDC
> 3. Exposes Session ID, USer Information from RequestResolver associated with current thread of execution
> This information can then later be exposed via logs like shown below. Here we expose the SessionID as part of log
> ---
> %d{dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm:ss.SSS} *%level* [%thread] %logger [%X{jcr.sessionId}] %msg%n
> ---
> The same information can also be used to filter logs based on user,url etc or used in custom Logging event evaluator
