Description

As requested here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14359044/display-thread-id-instead-thread-name-in-log

Thread ID

Use one of the following:

• %T
• %tid
• %threadId

Thread Priority

Use one of the following:

• %tp
• %threadPriority

This create creates an incompatibility for serialization because we now have two new LogEvent fields: thread ID and thread priority.
