I am working on extending a current logger solution that I would like to include more information than just class, line number, log level, date, etc. I would like to also capture the host name, the manufacturer of the software that generated the log message, the software product name, the version of the software, and the code library.
My searches have turned up nothing other than a user-agent string. Does there already exist a standard way (RFC/URN/URI) of communicating this information?

You can use something like syslog. Check this RFC5424 The Syslog Protocol
