Log::Agent::Channel::Syslog - syslog logging channel for Log::Agent::Logger
require Log::Agent::Channel::Syslog; my $channel = Log::Agent::Channel::Syslog->make( # Specific attributes -prefix => prefix, -facility => "user", -showpid => 1, -socktype => "unix", -logopt => "ndelay", );
The syslog logging channels directs operations to syslog() via the Sys::Syslog(3) interface.
The creation routine make() takes the following switches:
-facility
=> facilityTell 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 message logged through this channel will use the same facility.
-logopt
=> syslog optionsSpecifies logging options, under the form of a string containing zero or more of the words ndelay, cons or nowait.
-prefix
=> prefixThe prefix here is syslog's identification string.
-showpid
=> flagSet 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.
