Jorge Sanchez created LOG4J2-2062:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: Add possibility of sending the key of a message to Kafka using KafkaAppender
                 Key: LOG4J2-2062
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2062
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Appenders
    Affects Versions: 2.9.0
            Reporter: Jorge Sanchez
            Priority: Minor


When using the KafkaAppender the KafkaManager only sends the value of a message to a Kafka topic. 

It could be useful to be able to assign a value to the key of that message via configuration instead of having it null.
