Log to syslog

[npope]

All,
I am trying to set JBoss 4.2.3 to log to syslog. I have edited jboss-log4j.xml with this...

{code}
<!-- Syslog events -->









{code}

I have also added this statement to my syslog.conf configuration....
{code}
# Log JBoss
JBOSS.* /var/log/jboss
{code}

It is not logging, is there something that I am missing here.
Thanks for the help!

<!-- Syslog events -->

[npope]

doh why will it not take it

<!-- Syslog events -->
 <appender name="SYSLOG" class="org.apache.log4j.net.SyslogAppender">
 <errorHandler class="org.jboss.logging.util.OnlyOnceErrorHandler"/>
 <param name="Facility" value="JBOSS"/>
 <param name="FacilityPrinting" value="true"/>
 <param name="SyslogHost" value="localhost"/>
 <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
 <param name="ConversionPattern" value="[%d{ABSOLUTE},%c{1}] %m%n"/>
 </layout>
 </appender>

According to the javadoc:

The <code>facilityName</code> parameter must be one of the
strings KERN, USER, MAIL, DAEMON, AUTH, SYSLOG, LPR, NEWS, UUCP,
CRON, AUTHPRIV, FTP, LOCAL0, LOCAL1, LOCAL2, LOCAL3, LOCAL4,
LOCAL5, LOCAL6, LOCAL7. Case is unimportant.

And it does look like the setFacility() code checks for the name.

RajaK, based on your other post, you do not have this same error. In fact, this post provides the answer to the question you asked in your other post.
