Send log4j output to splunk

[omidizadkhasti]

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am going to use Splunk to send my java application logs from different servers to Splunk.
I have created a SocketAppender in log4j.properties. Moreover, I have created a TCP data inputs on same port on Splunk.
But when I run my application it said there is not any listener on this port.
Could you please how can I fix this issue?
Moreover, is there any special appender for log4j in Splunk.

Thanks,
Omid

An effective way of getting log4j data to splunk is to use a syslog appender. more info
