Re: Error in setting up syslogging

Hi Ian,

The problem is because of not specifying the layout for the SyslogAppender.
I faced the same problem and on looking into the SysLogAppender class, I found 
out a method called requiresLayout() which returned true indicating that this 
Appender mandatorily requires to have a layout.

Sample log4j.xml : 

       <appender name="SYSLOG" class="org.apache.log4j.net.SyslogAppender">  
         <param name="Facility" value="LOCAL7"/>  
        <param name="FacilityPrinting" value="true"/>  
         <param name="SyslogHost" value="192.168.136.33"/>  
         <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
	     <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d  [%-5p] %-6r %x - %m%n"/>
     	</layout>
       </appender>  

Regards,
-Shashi
