> We use the attached configuration in projects with Java8 on Debian 7.11. After upgrading from 2.8.2 to 2.9.1, we notice that the appName field has a number (probably the pid of the process) attached in brackets, i.e. instead of "foo" it's "foo[21063]". Since we have configured rsyslog on the receiving side to create directories with the appName field, this creates a new log directory every time the application is restarted.
