I want to ahve log4j sending logs to syslog. Todo so I changed the log4j.xml file to uncomment the syslog appender. I also added an layout element in it.


[appender name="SYSLOG" class="org.apache.log4j.net.SyslogAppender"]
<param name="Facility" value="LOCAL7"]
<param name="FacilityPrinting" value="true"]
<param name="Sysloghost" value="localhost"]
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"]
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %-5p [%c] %m%n"/]

<appender/]


I have created a separate category for some components to send message

<category name="com.cname.dname.pname"]
<appender-ref ref="SYSLOG"]
</category]

I have modified the rrot category as below.

<root]
<appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"]
<appender-ref ref="FILE"]
<appender-ref ref="SYSLOG"]


Now I do not see any error or exceptions when I start jboss but at the same time I do not see any log going to the syslog from jboss and the components defined under com.cname.dname.pname.

what could be wrong?

PS: I have changed an angle bracket to a ] bracket so that it shows up correctly.

Thanks,
Nipa
