Please take a look to gflog as replacement for log4j #11796

What?

Could you try using gflog instead of log4j to increase logging performance

both gflog and log4j are configured in a similar way, so the transition will not be a big problem

gflog also supports sending logs directly to Graylog

<appender name="gelf" factory="deltix.gflog.appender.TcpAppenderFactory" host="graylog" port="12201">
    <layout factory="deltix.gflog.layout.GelfLayoutFactory">
        <additional-fields>
            <entry key="app" value="${app.name}"/>
        </additional-fields>
    </layout>
</appender>

Why?

Because gflog is a highly efficient garbage-free logging framework for Java 8+. Here is a link to the comparison: https://github.com/epam/GFLog/wiki/Performance

Graylog Version: 4.2.3

@eabykov Thanks for the suggestion, but we will stay with log4j2 for now.
