Setting syslog layout with log4perl

neilwatson has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Greetings

This is my first dive in log4perl. I'm trying to configure for syslog, but I get the error ERROR: trying to set layout for SYSLOG to '%-5p %C - %m%n'. What is the correct way to configure the layout?

log4perl.rootLogger=DEBUG, SYSLOG

log4perl.appender.SYSLOG           = Log::Dispatch::Syslog
log4perl.appender.SYSLOG.min_level = debug
log4perl.appender.SYSLOG.ident     = logging.pl
log4perl.appender.SYSLOG.facility  = daemon
log4perl.appender.SYSLOG.layout    = %-5p %C - %m%n

I think you might want: `log4perl.appender.SYSLOG.layout = PatternLayout log4perl.appender.SYSLOG.ConversionPattern = %-5p %C - %m%n` [download] or `log4perl.appender.SYSLOG.layout = SimpleLayout` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Your first option is close but I think that the ".ConversionPattern" comes after "layout", so the second line should read: `log4perl.appender.SYSLOG.layout.ConversionPattern = %-5p %C - %m%n` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
