Hello, I'm using OROCOS version 2.6.0 (fuerte) and am having a curious issue with using the included log4cpp::RemoteSyslogAppender class. Through much research and some wiresharking, I've seen log messages getting sent via UDP on port 514 as expected, however the remote destination IP address ends up as 139.255.255.255, when it should be 139.123.123.123 (or whatever my machine is). I've traced the issue to a line of code which sets the _ipAddr member variable inside the open() function. The code in question is (where pent is a struct hostent* returned from gethostbyname() or gethostbyaddr()):
_ipAddr = *(pent->h_addr);
If I change this one line of code to the following, then the destination IP address fills in properly as expected:
_ipAddr = (struct in_addr*)pent->h_addr;
Does anyone have any insight as to why this is the case? We really would rather not have to change this underlying log4cpp code if we don't have to. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks, Chuck

Let me also add that I changed the _ipAddr member variable to a struct in_addr*, and the appropriate call in the _append() function.

I've not looked at any code or ever used the RemoteSysLogAppender but:
This looks like a broadcast address, so everyone in the same 139.x network
should be able to receive it, maybe this is how it is intended to work?

Chuck and I work together. We tested this theory (as that was my expectation, too). It didn’t work. My syslog server never received the messages, and my instance of Wireshark never saw the broadcasts. Granted, that could be a router/switch configuration issue. Regardless, it’s not obvious/clear why the RSLA would broadcast when it takes a host/IP as a configuration parameter. I believe Chuck’s changes more clearly implement the expectations of the user.

RemoteSyslogAppender remote IP issue
We have a patch we'd like applied to log4cpp that gives us what we feel is the designed intent of sending the log messages to a specific IP address and not broadcasting. See below

Hi Charles,
Could you resend the patch as attachment ? We can't apply it if it's
inlined in a markup email...

Great, thanks Peter! Any ETA on a new build?
