Log::Agent::Channel::Syslog - syslog logging channel for Log::Agent::Logger
require Log::Agent::Channel::Syslog; my $channel = Log::Agent::Channel::Syslog->make( # Specific attributes -prefix => prefix, -facility => "user", -showpid => 1, -socktype => { port => 514, type => "udp" }, -logopt => "ndelay", );
The syslog logging channels directs 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 message logged through this channel will use the same facility.
-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
Configures the logging socket.
The given options are passed without interpretation to setlogsock() hence refer to Sys::Sylog(3) for the exhaustive set of configuration options there.
setlogsock()
If you run rsyslogd over TCP on a non-standard port 60514 for instance, you could say:
rsyslogd
-socktype => { port => 60514, type => "tcp" }
but there are many other configuration possibilities.
