-----------------------------------

>
> Key: LOG4J2-2697
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2697

> Environment: RedHat 7.6
> OpenJDK 11

> We are having a problem with the Priority of the event created by the log4j2
> API.
> * According to the [RFC 5424|https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5424]
> specification, the priority is calculated as:
> *{{PRIORITY = ( FACILITY x 8) + SEVERITY}}*
> * In our configuration file (CSFLogConfigData.xml attached) we set the
> *Facility = LOCAL7 (value = 23)* and several Custom Levels:
> *{{<CustomLevels>}}*
> *{{}}{{ <CustomLevel name="EMERGENCY" intLevel="2" />}}*
> *{{}}{{ <CustomLevel name="ALERT" intLevel="3" />}}*
> *{{}}{{ <CustomLevel name="CRITICAL" intLevel="4" />}}*
> *{{}}{{ <CustomLevel name="ERROR" intLevel="5" />}}*
> *{{}}{{ <CustomLevel name="WARNING" intLevel="6" />}}*
> *{{}}{{ <CustomLevel name="NOTICE" intLevel="7" />}}*
> *{{}}{{ <CustomLevel name="INFORMAL" intLevel="8" />}}*
> *{{}}{{ <CustomLevel name="DEBUG" intLevel="9" />}}*
> {{*</CustomLevels>*}}
> * In our testing, we are provoking an Emergency Level event, as you can see
> in the screenshot attached (02-logEvent_customLevel)
> * The priority expected in the event after log4j2 management should be
> {{ *PRIORITY = (23 x 8) + 2 = 186*}}
> * But in the TCP Stream, all the events have *PRIORITY = 184* (screenshot
> attached 03-TCPStream_All184Values). In the screenshot the priority of some
> events can be seen, all of them with *PRIORITY = 184*, no matter the Severity
> Level of the event.
> We are seeing the Severity is not being added when calculating the priority.
> We have test with another facility, and the multiplication is ok, but in
> every case the Severity is not added.
>
> Is this a known problem?
> There is something wrong with our configuration?
