I face the same issue. I ensure variables are set: org.slf4j.MDC.put("thread", "threadidvalue")

But, the values are not printed in syslog:

xml:
{code:xml}
<Syslog name="SyslogAppender" format="RFC5424" host="10.21.24.242" port="514"
            protocol="UDP" appName="MyApp" includeMDC="true"
            facility="LOCAL0" enterpriseNumber="18060" newLine="true"
            messageId="Audit" id="App" mdcId="mdc">
        <param name="loggerFields">
            <LoggerFields>
                <KeyValuePair key="thread" value="%t"/>
            </LoggerFields>  
        </param>
        </Syslog>
{code}

> I cannot see thread context specific parameters (MDC) with the Syslog appender.

> {code}
> I can see my-mdc-key's value in the terminal just fine (as well as other MDC custom parameters if I need to), but there is none is syslog's log file.
> The same concerns the LoggerFields collection. I have added it just to try overcoming the issue with MDC, but also can't see any of those through syslog.
> I have tried to play with "mdcId", "mdcRequired", "mdcRequired", but with no success. The only thing for sure is that my MDC custom fields do exist in the context, as I can see them in the console, as well as Syslog appender starts with not exception when I specify them through "mdcRequired" field.
> PS Just to clarify, the messages do get delivered to the syslog, but no MDC and no custom logger fields there.
> Marked as "Critical" as we will have to migrate to logback or another framework if it is not going to work, as this functionality is required for us.
