Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-2884:
-------------------------------------
You are using udp to connect with the syslog server. UDP connections don't
fail if the server stops. You will just keep sending messages and they will be
lost. If you require better behavior you need to use TCP.

> I am trying to run the Failover scenario using RollingFile, SysLog and
> Console appender. Primary appender is SysLog and failover appenders are
> Console and RollingFile so when SysLog server stops, it should pick the
> Console or RollingFile appenders but it does not work. Can you please check
> the file *failover.xml* whats wrong with syntax.
