I would like to use the SocketAppender for sending log messages to remote server, and I wonder-

Does this SocketAppender has an encryption option and an option to send the log events through ssl?

It does not support any kind of encryption and never will.

  • I assume that is true for all other appenders? like the SYSLOG appender and others? – N.avraham Sep 12 '19 at 07:42
  • @N.avraham There is no encryption anywhere in log4cplus. – wilx Sep 12 '19 at 08:04
  • If I may ask- What is reason for the Log4cplus to not support (now and in the future) an encryption or any security level for the appenders? – N.avraham Sep 16 '19 at 18:11
  • @N.avraham Mainly because it is supposed to have minimal dependencies. I guess it is possible to add SSL/TLS to, e.g., the syslog appender but it would have to be only optional. Then there is a matter of picking one SSL/TLS provider library. Etc. – wilx Sep 17 '19 at 10:51
