log4cplus ConsoleAppender does not work in container - c++

Question

I'm trying to containerize my application but I'm having trouble getting log4cplus working. Bottom line up front, logging works when running on the host, but not in the container when I'm logging from long running loops. Its seems like a buffer somewhere is not getting flushed. A minimal example follows.
Additionally, removing the long lived loop removes the issue, presumably log4cplus flushes one last time before tearing down. Lengthening the sleep duration did not seem to help.
main.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <log4cplus/logger.h>
#include <log4cplus/loggingmacros.h>
#include <log4cplus/configurator.h>
#include <log4cplus/initializer.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
std::cout << "Sanity Check" << std::endl;
auto log4cplus = ::log4cplus::Initializer();
std::string logconfig("log4cplus_configure.ini");
::log4cplus::PropertyConfigurator::doConfigure(logconfig);
auto logger = ::log4cplus::Logger::getInstance(LOG4CPLUS_TEXT("main"));
while (true) {
LOG4CPLUS_ERROR(logger, "Sleeping...");
// std::cout << "cout sleep..." << std::endl; // uncomment to get log messages working
sleep(1);
}
return 0;
}
log4cplus_configure.ini
log4cplus.rootLogger=INFO, MyConsoleAppender
log4cplus.appender.MyConsoleAppender=log4cplus::ConsoleAppender
log4cplus.appender.MyConsoleAppender.layout=log4cplus::PatternLayout
log4cplus.appender.MyConsoleAppender.layout.ConversionPattern=[%-5p][%d] %m%n

Not sure why, but adding log4cplus.appender.MyConsoleAppender.ImmediateFlush=true to log4cplus_configure.ini solved my issue.
