[logback-user] Problem with Syslog appender

[Pradnya Gawade]

Hi,

I am trying to see if it is possible to send the web application name in the
TAG part of Syslog message? I believe even if it is possible, I might to
have to change some default code (override) of logback related to how it
forms the message. But I am not sure if it is possible to change the default
value that goes into the TAG field of syslog message. Any inputs?

Thanks,
Pradnya
