            This appender talks to a local syslog service. If you need to log to a remote syslog
            daemon and you cannot configure your local syslog service to do this you may be
            able to use the <a href="T_log4net_Appender_RemoteSyslogAppender.htm">RemoteSyslogAppender</a> to log via UDP.
            </p><p>
            Syslog messages must have a facility and and a severity. The severity
            is derived from the Level of the logging event.
            The facility must be chosen from the set of defined syslog 
            <a href="T_log4net_Appender_LocalSyslogAppender_SyslogFacility.htm">LocalSyslogAppender<span id="LST45B808C5_14"></span><script type="text/javascript">AddLanguageSpecificTextSet("LST45B808C5_14?cs=.|vb=.|cpp=::|nu=.|fs=.");</script>SyslogFacility</a> values. The facilities list is predefined
            and cannot be extended.
            </p><p>
            An identifier is specified with each log message. This can be specified
            by setting the <a href="P_log4net_Appender_LocalSyslogAppender_Identity.htm">Identity</a> property. The identity (also know 
            as the tag) must not contain white space. The default value for the
            identity is the application name (from <a href="P_log4net_Util_SystemInfo_ApplicationFriendlyName.htm">ApplicationFriendlyName</a>).
