Java Log4j2 Syslog Appender doen't send messages -

i'm trying use log4j2 syslog appender no messages sent. i'm monitoring environment using wireshark , no messages detected. running on windows 7.

when use kiwi syslog, messages arrive fine.

here log4j2 xml configuration file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <configuration status="warn" name="myapp" packages="">   <appenders>     <console name="console" target="system_out">             <patternlayout pattern="%d{hh:mm:ss.sss} [%t] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n"/>     </console>            <syslog name="rfc5424" format="rfc5424" host="localhost" port="514"             protocol="udp" appname="myapp" includemdc="true"             facility="user" enterprisenumber="18060" newline="true"             messageid="audit" mdcid="mdc" id="app"             connecttimeoutmillis="1000" reconnectiondelaymillis="5000">             <loggerfields>                 <keyvaluepair key="thread" value="%t"/>                 <keyvaluepair key="priority" value="%p"/>                 <keyvaluepair key="category" value="%c"/>                 <keyvaluepair key="exception" value="%ex"/>                 <keyvaluepair key="message" value="%m"/>             </loggerfields>         </syslog>       </appenders>   <loggers>     <logger name="com.mycorp" level="info" />         <root level="info">             <appenderref ref="rfc5424"/>             <appenderref ref="console"/>         </root>   </loggers> </configuration> 

here java code:

import org.apache.logging.log4j.logger; import org.apache.logging.log4j.logmanager; import java.io.*; import java.sql.sqlexception;  public class sysloglogger {     private static final logger log = logmanager.getlogger(sysloglogger.class);      public static void main (string[] args)throws ioexception,sqlexception     {         log.error("testing error level");     } } 

the console appender works fine, syslog doesn't.

please advise.

try code below , check it:

<appender name="console" class="org.apache.log4j.consoleappender">      <param name="target" value="system.out"/>      <layout class="org.apache.log4j.patternlayout">          <param name="conversionpattern" value="%d{hh:mm:ss.sss} [%t] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n"/>      </layout> </appender>
