Public bug reported: The gnome "Log File Viewer" does not log the Process Name (or Application Name) that generated the log item. For example, if an outbound internet connection is blocked and this event is logged, only the "ID" (i.e., PID) is shown in the report. But the PID is useless because it is ephemeral and does not live past the session. Users are left with no way to learn what Application or Process was responsible for generating the log item.
The "Process Name" should be listed in log items instead of the PID.
