----------------------------------

             Summary: SyslogLayout contains extra space
                 Key: LOG4J2-968
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-968
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Layouts
    Affects Versions: 2.2
            Reporter: Paul D Johe
             Fix For: 2.2.1


There is a extra space in the SyslogLayout so that that message is not compliant with the BSD format:

{code}
    /**
     * Date format used if header = true.
     */
    private final SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM dd HH:mm:ss ", Locale.ENGLISH);
{code}

Note the extra space at the end of the date format.

When this is used, another space is appended afterwards all the same:
{code}
        addDate(event.getTimeMillis(), buf);
        buf.append(' ');
{code}

This leads to incorrect data containing two spaces between the date field and the localHostname.
