agent::driver::syslog(3)
NAME
Log::Agent::Driver::Syslog - syslog logging driver for
Log::Agent
SYNOPSIS
use Log::Agent;
require Log::Agent::Driver::Syslog;
my $driver = Log::Agent::Driver::Syslog->make(
-prefix => prefix,
-facility => "user",
-showpid => 1,
-socktype => "unix",
-logopt => "ndelay",
);
logconfig(-driver => $driver);
DESCRIPTION
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) inter face, the facility is set once and for all: every log
ging 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 guar
antee 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" => (unix | inet)
- Specifies the logging socket type to use. The default
behaviour is to use Sys:Syslog's default.
CHANNELS
All the channels go to syslog(), of course.
