NAME

POE::Filter::Syslog - syslog parser

AUTHOR

Matt Cashner (sungo@cpan.org)

SYNOPSIS

  my $filter = POE::Filter::Syslog->new();
  $filter->get_one_start($buffer);
  while( my $record = $filter->get_one() ) {

  }

DESCRIPTION

This module follows the POE::Filter specification. Actually, it technically supports both the older specification (get) and the newer specification (get_one). If, at some point, POE deprecates the older specification, this module will drop support for it. As such, only use of the newer specification is recommended.

get_one returns a list of records with the following fields:

• time

  The time of the datagram (as specified by the datagram itself)

• pri

  The priority of message.

• facility

  The "facility" number decoded from the pri.

• severity

  The "severity" number decoded from the pri.

• host

  The host that sent the message.

• msg

  The message itself. This often includes a process name, pid number, and user name.

BUGS / CAVEATS

• put is not supported yet.
