> Key: LOG4J2-262
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-262
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Appenders
> Affects Versions: 2.0-beta6
> Reporter: Edward Sargisson
> Attachments: log4j2-interceptors.diff
>
>
> A Flume agent can be configured to have interceptors. Events are sent to the
> interceptors which can drop or modify them before passing them on. Currently,
> the embedded Flume agent does not allow them to be set because it prevents a
> configuration with any property that starts with sources.
> This is annoying when setting up a configuration to log Flume itself. In our
> environment we tag log events with the environment, host and component using
> interceptors. Sending Flume's logs to the same agent causes issues so the
> logs have to be sent to another agent. While it would be possible to
> configure that alternative agent to accept incoming events on a separate port
> per host and component that is a lot of configuration work to maintain.
> The provided patch allows interceptors to be set but continues to disallow
> other properties that starts with sources. Updated unit tests and a
> documentation update are also included.
