Apache Log4j Flume Appender allows applications to send events to Flume Agents.

Bytecode (Java 8) for Apache Log4j Flume Appender is provided in a separate JAR file like log4j-flume-ng-2.14.1.jar.

Source Code files for Apache Log4j IOStreams are provided in both binary packge like apache-log4j-2.14.1-bin.zip and source package like apache-log4j-2.14.1-src.zip. You can download them at Apache Log4j Website.
