The advantage of using Rsyslog is that it can send TCP events without blocking your application, can optionally encrypt the data, and even queue data to add robustness to network failure.
The syslog protocol does not support multiline events, so rsyslog will combine them into a single line escaped by octal characters. We automatically parse out the timestamp, method, fully classified class name, thread, and log level from log4j. We’ll show you how to setup a syslog appender to forward these to Rsyslog, which will then forward them to Loggly. You can send and manage your Java logs using Log4j version 1. How you navigate Loggly and access its features may vary from these instructions.
Navigation Notice: When the APM Integrated Experience is enabled, Loggly shares a common navigation and enhanced feature set with other integrated experience products.
