Gary Gregory commented on LOG4J2-263:
-------------------------------------
In this spec https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5424, I read:
{quote}
The character set used in STRUCTURED-DATA MUST be seven-bit ASCII in
an eight-bit field as described in [RFC5234]. These are the ASCII
codes as defined in "USA Standard Code for Information Interchange"
[ANSI.X3-4.1968]. An exception is the PARAM-VALUE field (see
Section 6.3.3), in which UTF-8 encoding MUST be used.
{quote}
So we should make the layout configurable, unless we want to allow users to
shoot themselves in the foot.
> RFC5424 Layout (and Syslog Layout) uses platform encoding when no charset is
> specified in configuration

> Components: Appenders, Core
> Affects Versions: 2.0-beta6
> Reporter: Remko Popma
>
> RFC5424 seems to require UTF-8 or US-ASCII as the character encoding.
> Should the 'charset' attribute be removed so that this is no longer
> configurable?
> Is there any specification for the Syslog format?
