Hi, I have an application which uses logback, and which needs to log in a syslog using TCP, and to be compliant with RFC 5424. Though, as far as I understand, those features aren't supported in logback, a patch has been proposed a few years ago [1]. To put it short: * Is there something preventing this patch from being merged? * If the only impediment is that merging it results in several conflicts, would it help if I propose to rebase it? * Is there a way for me to do what I want without this patch (for example using a SocketAppender, and with a well configured layout)? Regards, Guillaume [1]: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-588
