Ralph Goers commented on LBCLASSIC-116:
---------------------------------------

Urgent isn't the right word. I'm working on a POC that needs to use the IETF Syslog format for event logging (using the EventData from SLF4J). But as I worked on this I realized the concept of "Structured Data" might be something you want to incoporate throughout the framework. My change makes a start at that but you might want to handle it differently. In any case, supporting structured data in the syslog appender without providing a good mechanism for getting it to the appender would be a problem.

> The SyslogAppender supports RFC 3164. RFC 5424 has been released with obsoletes RFC 3164. See http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5424.txt. At the very least the format of the timestamp has been changed. Either the SyslogAppender should be enhanced to comply with RFC 5424 or a new SyslogAppender should be created which does.
