Logging log4j output to syslog

[Matthew Grasser]

I've created a file, `log4j.properties` in the conf folder of my application that includes the following:

log4j.rootLogger=ERROR, SYSLOG 

log4j.logger.play=WARN

# SYSLOG
log4j.appender.SYSLOG=org.apache.log4j.net.SyslogAppender
log4j.appender.SYSLOG.syslogHost=127.0.0.1
log4j.appender.SYSLOG.facility=local0
log4j.appender.SYSLOG.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.SYSLOG.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} %-5p ~ %m%n

 However the logs continue to post to logs/system.out.

What am I missing here?

Play 2 by default uses slf4j with logback. I'm not sure if you've setup log4j on your own, but if you're using the default logging that comes with Play then you need to use the logback.xml format
