----------------------------------
Summary: Refactor syslogappender so that Layout is an PluginElement
Key: LOG4J2-969
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-969
Project: Log4j 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Appenders, Layouts
Affects Versions: 2.2
Reporter: Paul D Johe
There are quite a lot of attributes to the syslogappender that could have been
simply included as:
{code}
@PluginElement("layout") Layout<? extends Serializable> layout,
{code}
This is much more flexible (for example, extension of existing syslog layouts)
and the field 'format' becomes superfluous, as it is implied by the layout
chosen (normally SyslogLayout or Rfc5424Layout will be chosen).
Furthermore, it becomes much clearer which attributes are for the RFC5424
format and which are for the BSD format.
Or at least add the possibility for a Layout element, which if does not exist
will use the existing code.
