Hello, I'm trying to implement remote logging for my application which is running in a docker container. The remote server provider is Papertrail. I want to specify a custom local host name, currently it is taking container id, which I don't want. In syslog layout GitHub link https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/blob/2.x/log4j-core/src/main/java/org/apache/logging/log4j/core/layout/SyslogLayout.java#L126-L129 It has a localHostname property or field, which is taking the value from org .apache.logging.log4j.core.util.NetUtils.getLocalHostname(). How to set this attribute. My current implementation is as follows AppenderComponentBuilder appenderBuilder = builder.newAppender("syslog", "Syslog") .addAttribute("protocol", "UDP") .addAttribute("host", host) .addAttribute("port", port) .addAttribute("appName", serviceName) .addAttribute("id", serviceName) .addAttribute("facility", "LOCAL0") .addAttribute("newLine", true) .addAttribute("format", "RFC5424") .addAttribute("ignoreExceptions", false);
I'm ok to use SocketAppender as well if syslog appender doesn't support this. Thank you, Ganesh S
