You can use any predefined variable or your custom field in the source field.

e.g. source="${event-properties:item=customName}"

and in your code, you can fill this value

logger.Info("this event is coming from may {customName}", "my app");

or you can use

logger.SetProperty("customName", "my app");

or even

logger.WithProperty("customName", "my app").Info("test message");
