[logback-user] Logs from Receiver not being displayed by Appenders

[ULStudent:ADAM.O'MAHONY]

Hi all,

Recently I have been trying to implement a centralised loggin server using slf4j with Logback.
To try and understand how the receiver architecture works, I set up two java applications built with maven. One (Client) creates logs and sends them via ch.qos.logback.classic.net.SocketAppender to the second (Server) receiving with a ch.qos.logback.classic.net.server.ServerSocketReceiver. The problem I have encountered is that the logs sent from the client are not displayed by the Server's appenders. I have used a packet sniffer to confirm that the packets are indeed send and received. I have also tried changing the receiver and socket layout i.e SocketAppender -> ServerSocketAppender and ServerSocketReceiver -> SocketReceiver but got the same results. When nothing I was trying worked I tried using the examples given in the Logback documentation exactly but again, got the same result.

Finally I tried sending logs via Log4j 2 (Log4j 2 Socket Appender -> Logback ServerSocketReceiver) but again no luck. The connect was established between appender and receiver in each test before logs began to send.

I would like to also note that any logs local to the applications are displayed perfectly by their respected appenders. Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Adam.
