What is equivalent to log4j 1 `log4j.appender.SYSLOG.Header=true` in log4j 2?

Question

I'm migrating a log4j.properties to log4j2.xml. Syslog appender in the former has a configuration

log4j.appender.SYSLOG.Header=true

What's the equivalent setting in log4j2.xml?

Answer 1

There is no need to do anything:

In log4j 1, setting log4j.appender.SYSLOG.Header=true resulted in the appender including the HEADER part (that is, timestamp and host name) of the syslog packet .

In log4j 2, the timestamp and host name are always included . (Looks like this cannot be switched off.)
