You can use SocketAppender. It allows to write log on remote host. Log4j2 - SocketAppender.

Sample Log4j Configuration :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration status="warn" name="MyApp" packages="">
    <Appenders>
        <Socket name="socket" host="localhost" port="9500">
            <SerializedLayout />
        </Socket>
    </Appenders>
    <Loggers>
    <Root level="error">
        <AppenderRef ref="socket"/>
    </Root>
    </Loggers>
</Configuration>
