Description

The Rfc5424Layout constructor contains a call to create a new StructuredDataId and, unlike the PluginFactory code, does not set the defaults of mdcId to DEFAULT_MDCID and enterpriseNumber to DEFAULT_ENTERPRISE_NUMBER. This causes StructuredDataId to raise an exception unless these two parameters are set, even if not used, which I think is an unexpected usage scenario.

I can think of two options, set the defaults or possibly better yet don't try and create the object if includeMdc = false.
