NAME
Net::Syslog - Perl extension for sending syslog messages directly to a remote syslogd.
SYNOPSIS
use Net::Syslog; my $s=new Net::Syslog(Facility=>'local4',Priority=>'debug'); $s->send('see this in syslog',Priority=>'info');
DESCRIPTION
Net::Syslog implements the intra-host syslog forwarding protocol. It is not intended to replace the Sys::Syslog or Unix::Syslog modules, but instead to provide a method of using syslog when a local syslogd is unavailable or when you don't want to write syslog messages to the local syslog.
The new call sets up default values, any of which can be overridden in the send call. Keys (listed with default values) are:
Name <calling script name> Facility local5 Priority error Pid $$ SyslogPort 514 SyslogHost 127.0.0.1
Valid Facilities are: kernel, user, mail, system, security, internal, printer, news, uucp, clock, security2, FTP, NTP, audit, alert, clock2, local0, local1, local2, local3, local4, local5, local6, local7
Valid Priorities are: emergency, alert, critical, error, warning, notice, informational, debug
Set Pid to any non numeric value to disable in the output.
Use: rfc3164 => 1 to enable RFC 3164 messages including timestamp and hostname.
