Example:
log4js.configure({
appenders: [{type: 'console', timezoneOffset: -540}],
replaceConsole: true
});
The expected value is the equivalent of (new Date).getTimezoneOffset()
In this example, -540 is the value for JST.
This allows machines members of world-wide-spread cluster to all report
log time-stamps using the same timezone (or adapt the timezone to a
local different from the system)
added the ability for smtp appender to send message as html instead of plaintext. in your log4js.config file simply include "html": "true", to write out as html, otherwise it will send plaintext
According to the GELF spec v1.1 [1], the full_message field in GELF is
optional. The log4js implemention until now has sent identitical
short_message and full_message fields. Since this does not add any new
information to the log message, I suggest that full_message be dropped
from GELF.

It turns out that whenever the clusterred appender is used the log event is passed to all actual appenders.
The actual appender's category is ignored.

Stop making use of any layout by default, because they are intended to
format a line for human reading. Loggly indexes the values (of all
properties of objects) and makes them available for querying.

Instead os using sockets (like multiprocess) or dead and unmaintained hook.io, Clustered appender
uses process.send(message) / worker.on('message', callback) mechanisms for transporting data
between worker processes and master logger.
Master logger takes an "appenders" array of actual appenders that are triggered when worker appenders send some data.
This guarantees sequential writes to appenders, so the log messages are not mixed in single lines of log.
