Hi Sanjeev,

I've been dealing with similar issues in log4j for a few weeks now. I'm not 
sure if it's exactly the same as yours, but I'm using the builtin UDP based 
SyslogAppender in log4j 1.2.15. The problem is that the SyslogAppender in log4j 
treats stack traces specially. After the main message has been formatted 
through the layout formatter, each line of the stack trace is sent as a 
separate log message with just facility/priority timestamp and hostname. It 
doesn't format these lines, so anything you were depending on being there from 
your conversion pattern (like the appname/tag) for filtering won't be there for 
the stack trace lines.

It looks like you're actually writing out the stack trace as part of the main 
message since you have "%throwable" in your conversion pattern. It's probably 
related to how either log4j or rsyslog is treating the new lines in your stack 
trace. Historically, any new line would separate log messages and they'd be 
treated as separate messages. Check /var/log/messages for these stack trace 
lines, then see if there's some way you can write out the stacktrace without 
new lines.
