This will retrieve the PID of the currently running process (this is done only once as the PID will never change during runtime) and then add it to the MDC if it is not already present. The resulting Logstash events will have a `mdc.pid` field containing the process ID. Tested on Windows and Linux with OpenJDK 7 and 8.

Side note: I'm not a Java programmer. Maybe this can be done more easily and/or more portable. But it seems to work for me. |
