Description

I have configured a Mongo4 Appender for logging into my MongoDB Atlas Cluster.

I have the mongo-driver-sync 4.3.1 in my pom.xml, and I use a connection string of type:

mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>@myproject.ne6as.mongodb.net/myFirstDatabase?retryWrites=true&w=majority

When my app tries to log, the mongodb connection keeps stalling in the 30000ms timeout waiting for the cluster description.

The strange thing is that my app does other things with this very same MongoDB, so I have coded a MongoDBService class that handles the connection etc...and my code works perfectly using the same driver and the same connection string: no "waiting for cluster description"...
