Description

I'm using my logger in a distributed environment and really need another available field for MongoDB, called jobID, so I can tie a queued job to the logged event.

I think it could be handled with something like:

public function log( LoggerLevel $level, $message, $throwable = null, $extras = array('jobId' => new MongoId('foo123'), 'foo' => 'bar') )

{
  _id: ObjectId("51c08aca162d280300000000"),
  jobId: ObjectId("foo123"),
  foo: 'bar', 
  timestamp: ISODate("2013-06-18T16:28:58.017Z"),
  level: "ERROR",
  thread: 3,
  message: "User: xxx has no API credentials.",
  loggerName: "main",
  fileName: "/app/admin/protected/components/xxx.php",
  method: "_setApi",
  lineNumber: 86,
  className: "xxx"
}

I tried to extend the Logger package to build this in, but I found it rather un-extensible. I ended up extending pretty much all the files, which at that point, may as well just edit the core files.

Thanks
