Can you log to a 3rd party service from Grails 2 app?

I have configured and started using the built in log4j package in my grails 2.5.4 app. I want to be able to send these logs to a 3rd party service through TCP or something similar. The only appenders in the documentation though are a database, console, or a file. Is there a way to set up a TCP appender or send the info to a .groovy file so I can send the log through a request?

Any info or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Yes. You have a number of options. One is to use SocketAppender. Another is you could write our own appender that does whatever you want.
