> Hello,
> I just want to sugges to apply the following modifications to Log4net (apply
> also to Log4j):
> *Create a SyslogLayout layout class that formats messages into Syslog format
> (both RFC3164 and RFC5424). Currently you have to search for a good
> PatternLayout that matches RFC specifications. Even if that could be,
> ultimately, inheriting from PatternLayout and setting a constant pattern...
> At least we have a valid layout in a class
> *RemoteSyslogAppender currently prepends the PriVal field to the regular
> message formatted accordingly with the pattern. SimpleLayout might not work
> properly. Suggesting to make RemoteSyslogAppender work only with properly
> implemented SyslogLayout[s] for both the RFCs
> Having a Syslog layout, especially for RFC5424 which is not only recent, but
> supports a full UTC timestamp complete with year (unsupported by RFC3164) is
> very useful when performing long-term log analysis and allows to store
> messages in Syslog format into files, almost like syslog-ng daemon does with
> /var/log/messages.
> I'm currently working on an open source logging framework (Logbus-ng) that
> does only log collection and broadcasting and *that we want to make fully
> compatible with Log4xxx*: our team has already implemented a fully working
> formatter for Syslog RFC5424 messages. If you need code, we can share it.
> I personally plan to implement these two features as classes external to
> Log4net, but I would like to suggest the Log4net dev team to do so before us
> because I feel the utility of such a work for the community.
> Thank you.
