[logback-user] SyslogAppender header with timestamp? Jan 01 01:00:00

[Andreas Kruthoff]

Hi


Problem is solved, syslogd is logging the timestamp. I missed to set the
timestamp in my event.

...
ch.qos.logback.classic.spi.LoggingEvent event = new LoggingEvent();
event.setTimeStamp(System.currentTimeMillis()); // this was missing
...

Without setting the timestamp, the event used ts=0, which was converted
to Jan 01 01:00:00.


cheers
