Hi - any tips for how I should configure the logging.yml file to give me  
more verbose output, including source ip address if possible, to give more  
info when an index is created?

The logging.xml file will only control which logging statements get  
outputed, not the amount of information it may contain.

The log line in question does not have the source ip, which is long gone by  
the time the service gets the request.
