Hi,  
not sure if I missed this feature in documentation, but is it possible to assign different name to columns that are logged?  
I would like to change name of column, but I do not want to go on searching for all places where variable (also used as a current name of the column) is used and rename it. I just want to change name of column that gets to logs. If this feature is not there yet, could you pls consider adding it? maybe using &log eg:

type Info: record {  
variable\_name\_not\_presentable : string &log=PresentableName;  
}

Bro 2.5 supports this (currently in beta):
