Thanks for quick response. I have this in syslog.logger now:

log4j.appender.syslogName=syslog
log4j.appender.syslogHost=localhost
log4j.appender.facility=local4
log4j.appender.portNumber=514

…but it is not working. :-( Do I need to change all .logger setting files or it should be enough to do it in syslog.logger?

Best regards,
