Agent::Driver::Syslog(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Agent::Driver::Syslog(3)

Log::Agent::Driver::Syslog - syslog logging driver for Log::Agent

 use Log::Agent;
 require Log::Agent::Driver::Syslog;

 my $driver = Log::Agent::Driver::Syslog->make(
     -prefix     => prefix,
     -facility   => "user",
     -showpid    => 1,
     -socktype   => { port => 514, proto => "udp" },
     -logopt     => "ndelay",
 );
 logconfig(-driver => $driver);

The syslog logging driver delegates logxxx() operations to syslog() via the Sys::Syslog(3) interface.

The creation routine make() takes the following switches:

"-facility" => 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 logging message will use the same facility.

If you wish to log something to "auth" for instance, then do so via Sys::Syslog directly: there is no guarantee that the application will configure its Log::Agent to use syslog anyway!

"-logopt" => syslog options
Specifies logging options, under the form of a string containing zero or more of the words ndelay, cons or nowait.
"-prefix" => prefix
The prefix here is syslog's identification string.
"-showpid" => flag
Set to true to have the PID of the process logged. It is false by default.
"-socktype" => options
Specifies the logging socket to use (protocol, destination, etc.). The value given is not interpreted and passed as-is to the "setlogsock()" routine in Sys::Syslog(3).

Please refer to Log::Agent::Channel::Syslog(3) for more information.

All the channels go to syslog(), of course.
