Description

There does not seem to be a good way to log a message describing what is logged.

Imagine I have a route, where I want to be able to trace all the content. I could use .log() processor but log component is better for tracing all the exchange details and also provides showStreams option.

 

from(direct:in)
.to(log:MyTestClass?level=TRACE)
.to(direct:step1)
.to(log:MyTestClass?level=TRACE)
.to(direct:step2)
.to(log:MyTestClass?level=TRACE)
.to(direct:step3)
.to(log:MyTestClass?level=TRACE)
.to(mock:result)

 

In the resulting log, it will be hard to see which line is produced by which log producer.

Something like 

.to(log:MyTestClass?level=TRACE&message=user before step1)

would be quite helpful. Wondering why it has not been implemented yet. I found only early requests from 2008. 

Beeing able to use simple language would be even better:  

.to(log:MyTestClass?level=TRACE&message=user before step1 - ${header.user.name})
