Can I configure SyslogAppender to post the log messages to any non standard port?

Hi,

Is there any way (other than changing the source code ) for configuring
the SyslogAppender to be configured  for forwarding the messages to any
specified port so that a syslog server listening to any specific port
which is non standard port(different than 514) can consume.

 

I see the port defined at syslogwriter.cpp as follows : 

#define SYSLOG_PORT 514

 

Assumes that this is the only port that log4cxx forwards the logs for
the syslog appender.

 

Please let me know if there is any way.

 

Regards

Unni

Nope. As you guessed it is hardcoded.
