Log::Agent::Driver::Syslog - syslog logging driver for Log::Agent
use Log::Agent; require Log::Agent::Driver::Syslog; my $driver = Log::Agent::Driver::Syslog->make( -prefix => prefix, -facility => "user", -showpid => 1, -socktype => { port => 514, proto => "udp" }, -logopt => "ndelay", ); logconfig(-driver => $driver);
The syslog logging driver delegates logxxx() operations to syslog() via the Sys::Syslog(3) interface.
The creation routine make() takes the following switches:
-facility
Tell syslog() which facility to use (e.g. "user", "auth", "daemon"). Unlike the Sys::Syslog(3) interface, the facility is set once and for all: every logging message will use the same facility.
If you wish to log something to "auth" for instance, then do so via Sys::Syslog directly: there is no guarantee that the application will configure its Log::Agent to use syslog anyway!
-logopt
Specifies logging options, under the form of a string containing zero or more of the words ndelay, cons or nowait.
-prefix
The prefix here is syslog's identification string.
-showpid
Set to true to have the PID of the process logged. It is false by default.
-socktype
Specifies the logging socket to use (protocol, destination, etc.). The value given is not interpreted and passed as-is to the setlogsock() routine in Sys::Syslog(3).
setlogsock()
Please refer to Log::Agent::Channel::Syslog(3) for more information.
All the channels go to syslog(), of course.
