I'm trying to configure Tomcat and a webapp (Atlassian JIRA) to log everything over syslog.

Here is what I added to the webapp log4j.properties (atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties) :

log4j.rootLogger=WARN, syslog
log4j.appender.syslog=org.apache.log4j.net.SyslogAppender
log4j.appender.syslog.facility=LOCAL0
log4j.appender.syslog.layout.ConversionPattern=%-5p [%t] [%c]: %m%n
log4j.appender.syslog.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.syslog.SyslogHost=my.syslog.server.fqdn

However, nothing is sent over syslog. I sniffed outgoing packets on the port 514 and nothing appears.

Thanks for your help!
