---------------------------
Summary: How to configure syslog appender to reconnect
Key: LOG4J2-2568
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2568
Project: Log4j 2
Issue Type: Question
Components: Appenders
Affects Versions: 2.11.2
Reporter: a b
After failing to send a message to syslog-ng using tcp, the connection is
reported as closed in syslog-ng, yet seems like appender is unaware. Even with
ignoreExceptions='true', logger still happilty sends messages through, none of
which actually hit the server.
Used bababit/syslog-ng docker image for server:
{code:java}
docker run -it --rm -p 7514:514/udp -p 7601:601/tcp balabit/syslog-ng
-evd{code}
...and some groovy test specification cobbled-together to test (FWIW, as a
sanity check, it is able to send via udp)
