Not familiar with the syslog, but this is from the javadoc:

SyslogHost
The host name of the syslog host where log output should go. WARNING If the
SyslogHost is not set, then this appender will fail.


Facility A string representing the syslog facility.

Acceptable values are in the set {KERN, USER, MAIL, DAEMON, AUTH, SYSLOG,
LPR, NEWS, UUCP, CRON, AUTHPRIV, FTP LOCAL0, LOCAL1, LOCAL2, LOCAL3, LOCAL4,
LOCAL5, LOCAL6, LOCAL7}.


Hope it helps,

Rex

Subject: Cannot get SyslogAppender to work

Hi all,

I've been trying to get the SyslogAppender with the following code, but no
luck so far:

        cat = Category.getInstance(MyClass.class.getName());
        cat.setPriority(Priority.INFO);
        SimpleLayout layout = new SimpleLayout();
        SyslogAppender appender = new SyslogAppender(layout, "anda", 0);
        cat.addAppender(appender);
        cat.warn("Low fuel level.");

anda is a linux server in our network (not the machine I'm testing from!),
do I have to configure it in a special way to allow syslog messages from
another machine than itself to enter its log?
What's the meaning of that parameter "syslogFacility" in SyslogAppender
constructor?

Many thanks,

jeroen

ps.: I've tried looking similar questions like this but was unable to find
them at www.mail-archives.com (link doesn't even work!)  and
