Description
Hi, I see very stange behavior when using tcp SocketAppender. My configuration is:
<Socket name="auditSocket" protocol="TCP" host="10.8.84.194" port="4587" connectTimeoutMillis="10000" reconnectionDelayMillis="10000"
immediateFail="true" immediateFlush="true" ignoreExceptions="false" bufferedIO="false">
After application starts and before writing any logs I simulate connection reset with:
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -d 10.8.84.194 --dport 4587 -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset
Now the strange part:
- First log is written to output stream successfully (but nothing actually gets sent)
- Second log throws IOException on outputstream write, this gets handled with a reconnection attempt (which fails) and result is AppenderLoggingException - this is what I expect because I'm using a failover appender to route the log into file.
- Third and subsequent log attempts also fail due to IOException on outputstream write BUT no AppenderLoggingException is raised - reconnector is not null at this point and IOException gets swallowed up.
I'm using log4j2 2.12.1
