Hi,

   In my case I  created a SyslogWrapperLayout which can wrap any other
layout, so I put PatternLayout inside SyslogWrapperLayout. As far as I see
that's the only way to get cusomizeable Layout for syslog. Ah, and one more
thing, I don't use SyslogAppender, but a simple SocketAppender with
SyslogWrapperLayout, it works great,

   Obviously that's not a standard way, but that's how log4j2 should work
;-)
