Thanks. I assume you're talking about checking out the source for the
RFC5424Layout, correct? I guess the source is easily accessible from somewhere?
I have a couple follow-up questions.
1. While using the method you suggest, could I also set system properties in
the configuration and get access to those from the layout object somehow?
2. What you suggest below using the PluginFactory @PluginConfiguration, does
that allow you to get the entire list of parameters without having to have a
member property for each one?
Thanks,
Nick
