Hello Joern, The javadocs for getId state: public long getId() Returns the identifier of this Thread. The thread ID is a positive long number generated when this thread was created. The thread ID is unique and remains unchanged during its lifetime. When a thread is terminated, this thread ID may be reused. Thus, the id is not guaranteed to be unique either...

Hi all,
I'd like to suggest to include thread id (in addition to the name) in LoggingEvent. I'd use a Long as the data type instead of long so it's possible to distinguish if it was initialized or not.
The name alone isn't guaranteed to be unique so the id wouldn't hurt, imho.
Joern.
