Description

SyslogAppender splits log which are greater than 1024 bytes into different message. The fragmentation of the message is very difficult for Chukwa to process the message on the collector side. Hence, I am dropping the idea of using SyslogAppender. The alternative approach is to implement SocketAdaptor to stream SocketAppender log file to Chukwa.
