Hi,

I’m setting up my first workflow on my self hosted version of temporal. I discovered that [workflows](https://python.temporal.io/temporalio.workflow.Info.html) and [activities](https://python.temporal.io/temporalio.activity.Info.html) both have their own Info classes with lots of contextual information.

Is there a way to configure temporal to automatically add these attributes to my logging as context?

or am I better off creating my own ContextManager for logging in each workflow sort of like:

```python
@workflow.defn
class SomeWorkflow:
    @workflow.run
    async def run(self) -> None:
        with WorkflowInfoLogger(workflow.info()):
            logger.info('we did the thing!!!')

```

Ideally, it would be great to have some temporal context on all the log messages we produce, that look something like:

```auto
{
    "message": "we did the thing!!!",
    "run_id": "333e788c-205b-4ace-813c-a529a1d1e3e4",
    "workflow_id": "333e788c-205b-4ace-813c-a529a1d1e3e4",
    "workflow_type": "SomeWorkflow"
}

```

They are already appended to each message by default if you use `workflow.logger` or `activity.logger`. They are also put in the `extra` dict on the log record. The `LoggerAdapter` for each has attributes for doing things such as turning it off as needed.
