[logback-user] Problem with Syslog appender

[Pradnya Gawade]

Hey, I think I could figure it out. Using the square brackets in the value
of pattern does the job. I am configuring the Syslog appender as:

<appender name="SYSLOG" class="ch.qos.logback.classic.net.SyslogAppender">

    <SyslogHost>192.168.15.184</SyslogHost>
    <Facility>LOCAL1</Facility>
    <SuffixPattern>[webAppName] %msg %logger </SuffixPattern>
  </appender>


Thanks,
Pradnya
