I’ve been trying out the FlumeAppender in log4j2 over the last couple of days 
and it seems to work.  However, I’m not clear on the situations you should be 
using the three types; remote client, embedded agent and persistent.  The 
documentation isn’t particularly clear on this either and doesn’t list typical 
drawbacks/advantages of each approach.  I tried out the persistent one (which 
seems to perform better than the remote client) and it generates data in the 
dataDir directory supplied in the configuration.  But this data doesn’t seem to 
get cleaned up.  Does this persist forever unless manually deleted?

I guess I’m looking for some more in depth documentation or help with the 
FlumeAppender specifically.  If someone can either point me to some further 
existing documentation or help me understand it a little better I’d appreciate 
it.

Thanks, Conor
