Setting up syslog appender with log4j, and logging to syslog

I have set up a java app to send log4j2 logs to syslog on Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS. I see that log4j2 seems to be ok, I don't see errors in the startup. But I don't see any log messages getting to syslog anywhere. This is more of a log4j2 and syslog setup question than sumo logic, but thought I'd try. Here's the log4j2 config file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<configuration status="trace" monitorInterval="60">

    <appenders>

        <Syslog name="RFC5424" format="RFC5424" host="127.0.0.1" port="514"

            protocol="UDP" appName="OneId-QA" includeMDC="true"

            facility="local0" enterpriseNumber="18060" newLine="true"

            messageId="Audit" id="OneId-QA"/>

        <RollingFile name="RollingFile" fileName="/var/log/oneid/oneid.log"

                     filePattern="/var/log/oneid/$${date:yyyy-MM}/app-%d{MM-dd-yyyy}-%i.log.gz">

            <PatternLayout>

                <pattern>%d %p %c{1.} [%t] %m%n</pattern>

            </PatternLayout>

            <Policies>

                <TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy />

                <SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="250 MB" />

            </Policies>

                        <DefaultRolloverStrategy max="50"/>

        </RollingFile>

        <Async name="Async">

            <appender-ref ref="RollingFile"/>

        </Async>

        <Console name="Console" target="SYSTEM\_OUT">

            <PatternLayout pattern="%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n"/>

        </Console>

 

    </appenders>

    <loggers>

        <root level="DEBUG">

            <appender-ref ref="RFC5424" level="debug"/>

            <appender-ref ref="Console" />

            <appender-ref ref="Async" />

        </root>

    </loggers>

</configuration>

 

And here's the startup log4j2 config output:
