DO NOT REPLY [Bug 45886] New: SysLog Appender does not take in to account Identity

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45886

           Summary: SysLog Appender does not take in to account Identity
           Product: Log4j
           Version: 1.2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Appender
        AssignedTo: log4j-dev <at> logging.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jamiguet <at> gmail.com

A usual extension to the syslog protocol allows for messages being sent to a
Facility (i.e Local0-7, Auth, ftp, ...) to also contain an Identity. 

The Identity enables for the messages to be differentiated at a later stage and
written to different files or persisted in different databases, even if they
originate from the same facility.

The Identity is declared in the appenders configuration, alongside the
facility.

This change would require for the configuration to contain a parameter i.e.
Identity and for that parameter to be added in the appropriate place in the udp
packet that is sent.
