How to configure fluentd in log4j?

Two questions/issues
1. Based on fluentd java logger https://github.com/fluent/fluent-logger-java
Looks like I need to create and use fluentd logger in my application.

I dont want to add Fluentd related code into my application. So, is there a way to log to fluentd by configuring the SocketAppender in log4j?

Similar to logstash config for log4j below?
https://github.com/agorski/logstash-log4j-example/blob/master/src/main/resources/log4j.xml
1. How do I configure Fluentd to monitor/access a log file/directory?

Review the fluent-logger-java project and the referenced log4j.xml example, then separate the SocketAppender configuration question from the Fluentd log-file monitoring question. The issue is complete when the supported configuration path, or the lack of one, is documented for both concerns.
