Scott Severtson commented on LOG4J2-168:
----------------------------------------
I'm finally digging back into this, and I'm a bit confused - not sure that I
fully understand the configuration initialization process, or how to wire
things together.
I've created a MDCFields plugin, with the following factory method:
@PluginFactory
public static ConcurrentMap<String, String> createKeyValuePairsMap(
@PluginElement("MDCFields") final
KeyValuePair[] keyValuePairs)
However, in RFC5424Layout, which of the following do I include in the
.createLayout(...) factory method?
1. @PluginElement("mdcFields") MDCFields mdcFields,
2. @PluginElement("mdcFields") Map<String, String> mdcFields,
Also, the AppendersPlugin returns a ConcurrentMap - is this necessary for the
MDCFields plugin? I didn't think the configuration could be modified except by
a complete reload, so I'm not sure why a ConcurrentMap is needed versus a
plain-old Map.
Thanks!

> We'd really like to see the logger and/or location be included in RFC-5424

> PatternLayout names to be configured on the SyslogAppender, which are then
> included in the structured data.
> Patch to follow shortly.
