NAME

NetSDS::Logger - syslog wrapper for applications and classes

SYNOPSIS

        use NetSDS::Logger;

        my $logger = NetSDS::Logger->new(
                name => 'NetSDS-SuperDaemon',
        );
        $logger->log("info", "Syslog message here");

DESCRIPTION

This module contains implementation of logging functionality for NetSDS components.

By default, messages are logged with local0 facility and pid,ndelay,nowait options.

NOTE: NetSDS::Logger module is for internal use mostly from application frameworks like NetSDS::App, NetSDS::App::FCGI, etc.

CLASS API

Constructor new() creates new logger object and opens socket with default NetSDS logging parameters.

        Use only ASCII characters in "name" to avoid possible errors.
        Default value is "NetSDS".

        Available facility values:

                * local0..local7
                * user
                * daemon

        If not set 'local0' is used as default value
