This JIRA issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1195
points out that we have kind of a conceptual problem. Some layouts, such as SerializedLayout, require a header. This does not work with message based appenders with layout support like KafkaAppender (and I guess JmsAppender and JeroMqAppender have the same issue). Should those appenders write layout header in every message, or should we just document that certain combinations of layouts and appenders are not supported? -- [image: MagineTV] *Mikael Ståldal* Senior software developer *Magine TV* [email protected] Grev Turegatan 3 | 114 46 Stockholm, Sweden | www.magine.com Privileged and/or Confidential Information may be contained in this message.
