Log4j-via-syslog not received by Sentinel

[brucetimberlake]

I have the Syslog Connector running in Sentinel, and is receiving all expected messages from the various remote servers (we added "*.* ip.ad.re.ss" to syslog.conf, so that all syslog messages are sent to Sentinel, and then are also logged locally as normal).

The issue we are having is with a Java application that is using the log4j syslog appender. Messages from log4j are being written to the local log files as expected; however, they are *not* making it to Sentinel. Using "logger" at the command line, sending to the same syslog facility and log level ("local8.info" for example) works perfectly - we get the local logging as well as an immediate Sentinel entry.

I suppose this may be more of a log4j question, but since it's not working only with regards to Sentinel, I thought I'd try here first.

In case it matters, here is the relevant piece of the log4j.properties file:
