[jira] [Resolved] (LOG4J2-1332) Null/empty messages are not handled properly in RFC5424Layout

["Ralph Goers (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1332?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Ralph Goers resolved LOG4J2-1332.
---------------------------------
    Resolution: Not A Problem

Actually, I misread the document the overall grammar of a syslog message is 

SYSLOG-MSG      = HEADER SP STRUCTURED-DATA [SP MSG]

so the message is optional and the current code is correct. Also, example 4 in section 6 shows a syslog message with only structured data and no message text.

The only thing we are doing incorrectly is not checking for a null Message in the LogEvent, but that really should have been checked or caused other problems long before here.

If you agree with this please close. Otherwise, please provide a reference to where this disagrees with the spec.
