Can't get Thread IDs to display in server.log or syslog

Question

I'm trying to capture the Java thread IDs for a custom application. According to the SunOne documentation, the thread IDs are only available if you configure the app to use the syslog for logging... even then, the thread IDs are optional.
I've configured the app server to log through the syslogd and turned up the logging to finest. Still no thread IDs output to the log. Any suggestions?

I've read that page - several times. I still can't it to work. Part of the problem that page is that it's talking about adding an existing WIT to the backlog, instead of a custom WIT.
I inherited a customized template and I'm trying to further customize it, which is probably adding to my struggle. Can you spot anything wrong or missing here?
From categories.xml:
<CATEGORY name="Team Backlog Item Category" refname="MyCompany.TeamBacklogItemCategory">
<DEFAULTWORKITEMTYPE name="User Story" />
<WORKITEMTYPE name="Spike" />
<WORKITEMTYPE name="Bug" />
<WORKITEMTYPE name="Technical Story" />
<WORKITEMTYPE name="Report" />
</CATEGORY>
From process Settings:
<RequirementBacklog category="MyCompany.TeamBacklogItemCategory" pluralName="Team Backlog Items" singularName="Team Backlog Item">
<States>
<State value="New" type="Proposed" />
<State value="Approved" type="Proposed" />
<State value="Committed" type="InProgress" />
<State value="Done" type="Complete" />
</States>
<Columns>
<Column refname="System.WorkItemType" width="100" />
<Column refname="System.Title" width="300" />
<Column refname="System.State" width="100" />
<Column refname="Microsoft.VSTS.Common.Priority" width="50" />
<Column refname="Microsoft.VSTS.Scheduling.Effort" width="50" />
<Column refname="System.IterationPath" width="200" />
<Column refname="System.Tags" width="200" />
</Columns>
<AddPanel>

<Field refname="System.Title" />
</Fields>
</AddPanel>
</RequirementBacklog>
Also, do I have to do anything special to get the web portal to "refresh" after making changes like this?
Thank you.
