      Problem Definition

      Currently JIRA HTTP Access Logging doesn't log Java thread name. 

      127.0.0.1 i741x66x1 admin [15/Jan/2016:12:21:05 +0100] "GET http://127.0.0.1:8080/secure/admin/ViewLogging.jspa HTTP/1.1" - - - "http://127.0.0.1:8080/secure/admin/ViewLogging.jspa" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.10; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/43.0" "uus68a" INFO

      This makes troubleshooting of performance problems more complicated, as it hard to get thread from URL and other way around.

      Suggested Solution

      Add Java thread name to log4j.properties: 

      log4j.appender.httpaccesslog.layout.ConversionPattern=%m %t%n

      Workaround

      Manually modify log4j.properties: :
