OK, now I understand. The SyslogAppender is really just a SocketAppender with either the SyslogLayout or RFC5424Layout hardwired. We’ve discussed allowing patterns in the message but never did it because some of the patterns available in the PatternLayout shouldn’t be available. But lately I have been adding the ability to specify patterns for other layouts and it should be done for this as well. For example, I just modified the GelfLayout to do that. If you wouldn’t mid creating a Jira issue I will see if I can get it in the next release.
