Re: [syslog-ng] Proper formatting of incoming Log4j, Jetty events

      Hi Clayton,

If it's possible for you to switch to log4j2, my suggestion would be to use
RFC5424 instead, which allows for structured logging.

Example log4j2.xml config:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration status="INFO">
  <Appenders>
    <Syslog name="RFC5424" format="RFC5424" host="cc-ecole2015-log.in2p3.fr" port="514"
      protocol="UDP" appName="MyApp" includeMDC="true" mdcId="mdc"
      facility="LOCAL5" enterpriseNumber="41262" newLine="true"
      messageId="Audit" id="App"/>
  </Appenders>
  <Loggers>
    <Root level="info">
      <AppenderRef ref="RFC5424"/>
    </Root>
  </Loggers>
</Configuration>
