Description

Currently, the log4j configuration defines an AsyncAppender which wraps a SocketAppender. It would likely be cleaner, and easy to track, if we created our own AccumuloMonitorAppender (or similar).

This would make disabling log-forwarding when the monitor is dead easier to accomplish. It might also allow for reuse of this functionality.
