print hostname:port in server log files

[cattoni]

It would be useful to have in server log files (e.g. context-analyzer.err) not only the port but also the hostname -- such as "hostname:port".
Currently in a distributed environment a client with only the port misses the hostname to connect to a server.
(by the way the current string contains a typo "Staring server" instead of "Starting server")

The context analyzer itself cannot know the hostname of the machine it is in; that's because, in general, a machine can have more than an hostname (and even more than one IP).

Could it be the output of the command "hostname" or "uname -n"?

Is it possible to have the output of the command "hostname" or "uname -n"?

That's the name of the machine, but rarely it's the public domain name. I think that the information you're looking for should be printed by the Moses Decoder at the beginning of the log. Actually the Moses Decoder is the right component to tell you which Context Analyzer server he's using.

This property is also currently available in the moses.ini file (key bias-server).
