Syslog for Log4J 2 & 1
Hi,
We are using syslog in our organization with logback.
I want to use log4j instead. But, it seems that there is no suffix pattern or anything available.
How can I configure the same?
Thanks.

Hi,
not sure what exactly you need, but there is a native SyslogAppender:

Hi Ralph,
The issue that, I need this for both Log4J 1.2 and 2.x.
But, 1.2 is EOL.
There seems to be a Layout option, which should allow any pattern layout. But, somehow it is not working.
Thanks,
Subhajit

OK, now I understand.
The SyslogAppender is really just a SocketAppender with either the SyslogLayout or RFC5424Layout hardwired. We’ve discussed allowing patterns in the message but never did it because some of the patterns available in the PatternLayout shouldn’t be available. But lately I have been adding the ability to specify patterns for other layouts and it should be done for this as well. For example, I just modified the GelfLayout to do that. If you wouldn’t mid creating a Jira issue I will see if I can get it in the next release.

OK, now I understand.
The SyslogAppender is really just a SocketAppender with either the SyslogLayout or RFC5424Layout hardwired. We’ve discussed allowing patterns in the message but never did it because some of the patterns available in the PatternLayout shouldn’t be available. But lately I have been adding the ability to specify patterns for other layouts and it should be done for this as well. For example, I just modified the GelfLayout to do that. If you wouldn’t mid creating a Jira issue I will see if I can get it in the next release.

Hi Ralph,
This is the logback manual: http://logback.qos.ch/manual/appenders.html. Here syslog uses suffix patten. Which is then read by syslog server and starting text (say “app: <pattern>”), to segregate application logs.
This is the Log4J manual: https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/appenders.html#SyslogAppender. This does not discuss any suffix. There is an option to replace whole pattern.
I want to adapt first thing into second.
Thanks.

I don’t understand what you mean by a “suffix pattern”. Can you please elaborate?
