 ## Usage
 
-Every sentry application defined on the server gets a different [DNS](https://www.getsentry.com/docs/). In the example below replace `YOUR_DSN` with the one created for your application.

+## Special fields
+
+Some logrus fields have a special meaning in this hook,
+these are server_name and logger.
+When logs are sent to sentry these fields are treated differently.
+- server_name (also known as hostname) is the name of the server which
+is logging the event (hostname.example.com)
+- logger is the part of the application which is logging the event.
+In go this usually means setting it to the name of the package.
