[LOG4J 2] SocketAppender and Async Logging

[Andrew Berman <re...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I was testing a SocketAppender with a reconnection delay and set all of the
loggers to async.  I then turned off the server receiving the socket
connection to test the reconnection delay and the appender is not retrying
the connection after the delay.  As a result, I lose the log data that
should've been sent to the socket.  Is SocketAppender not compatible with
async logging?  Is it possible to modify the SocketAppender to have a
reconnection interval as well so it continually retries using some sort of
internal buffer?

Is there a better method of sending the log data so it is reliably captured
by a remote server if the remote server is down for a period of time?

Thanks,

Andrew
