Although this framework is fully functional and stable, since it was released Splunk have now created their own Java Logging Library.

So I recommend that you use the formally Splunk developed and supported offering that can be found here : http://dev.splunk.com/view/splunk-logging-java/SP-CAAAE2K

The purpose of this project is to create a logging framework to allow developers to as seamlessly as possible

integrate Splunk best practice logging semantics into their code and easily send their log events to Splunk.
