[Feature Request] Socket Appender

[IshaanKarnik]

Is their an plan to add Socket/Network Appender to enable log to be dumped on a remote server?
e.g. adb or log4cxx
Target Platform - Windows, Linux

Can you describe the use case? I think nowadays it's more common to collect local logs and send them to a remote server with specific tools built for that (Logstash or similar).

@SergiusTheBest We use plog library on our embedded devices. Multiple embedded devices are installed in a factory. Our devices are connected mainly connected in the factory's local network. Many times their is no access to internet for our embedded devise (this is dependent on IT policy). All the software are installed on on-site server.
Taking SSH access to retrieve log for multiple devices is not very human friendly; hence I was looking into Socket/Network Appender that can dump logs on the server.

@IshaanKarnik Are they Linux/Unix-based devices?

@SergiusTheBest We are using Linux based devices. We are using either Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit) or Ubuntu Desktop 22.04.2 LTS.
