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

             Summary: Priority of the Event is not calculated correctly
                 Key: LOG4J2-2697
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2697
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: API, Layouts
    Affects Versions: 2.11.1
         Environment: RedHat 7.6

OpenJDK 11
            Reporter: Jose Luis
         Attachments: 02-logEvent_customLevel.jpg, 03-TCPStream_All184Values.jpg, CSFLogConfigData.xml

We are having a problem with the Priority of the event created by the log4j2 API.
 * According to the [RFC 5424|https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5424] specification, the priority is calculated as:
   *{{PRIORITY = ( FACILITY x 8) + SEVERITY}}*


 * In our configuration file (CSFLogConfigData.xml attached) we set the *Facility = LOCAL7 (value = 23)* and several Custom Levels:

*{{<CustomLevels>}}*
*{{}}{{    <CustomLevel name="EMERGENCY" intLevel="2" />}}*
*{{}}{{    <CustomLevel name="ALERT" intLevel="3" />}}*
*{{}}{{    <CustomLevel name="CRITICAL" intLevel="4" />}}*
*{{}}{{    <CustomLevel name="ERROR" intLevel="5" />}}*
*{{}}{{    <CustomLevel name="WARNING" intLevel="6" />}}*
*{{}}{{     <CustomLevel name="NOTICE" intLevel="7" />}}*
*{{}}{{    <CustomLevel name="INFORMAL" intLevel="8" />}}*
*{{}}{{    <CustomLevel name="DEBUG" intLevel="9" />}}*
{{*</CustomLevels>*}}


 * In our testing, we are provoking an Emergency Level event, as you can see in the screenshot attached (02-logEvent_customLevel)
 * The priority expected in the event after log4j2 management should be
{{    *PRIORITY = (23 x 8) + 2 = 186*}}
 * But in the TCP Stream, all the events have *PRIORITY = 184* (screenshot attached 03-TCPStream_All184Values). In the screenshot the priority of some events can be seen, all of them with *PRIORITY = 184*, no matter the Severity Level of the event.

We are seeing the Severity is not being added when calculating the priority. We have test with another facility, and the multiplication is ok, but in every case the Severity is not added.

 

Is this a known problem?

There is something wrong with our configuration?
