NAME

Message::Passing::Input::Syslog - input messages from Syslog.

SYNOPSIS

    message-pass --input Syslog --input_options '{"port":"5140"}' --output STDOUT

DESCRIPTION

Provides a syslogd server for either TCP or UDP syslog.

Can be used to ship syslog logs into a Message::Passing system.

ATTRIBUTES

hostname

The IP to bind the daemon to. By default, binds to 127.0.0.1, which means that the server can only be accessed from localhost. Use 0.0.0.0 to bind to all interfaces.

port

The port to bind to, defaults to 5140, as the default syslog port (514) is likely already taken by your regular syslogd, and needs root permissio to bind to it.

protocol

The protocol to listen on, currently only UDP is supported.

remote_hostname

Set to true to store the remote instead of the servers' hostname in the hostname attribute. Defaults to false for backward compatibility.
