Log::Dispatch::Syslog(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation
NAME
Log::Dispatch::Syslog - Object for logging to system log.
VERSION
version 2.71
SYNOPSIS
use Log::Dispatch;
my $log = Log::Dispatch->new(
outputs => [
[
'Syslog',
min_level => 'info',
ident => 'Yadda yadda'
]
]
);
$log->emerg("Time to die.");
DESCRIPTION
This module provides a simple object for sending messages to the system
log (via UNIX syslog calls).
Note that logging may fail if you try to pass UTF-8 characters in the log
message. If logging fails and warnings are enabled, the error message
will be output using Perl's "warn".
CONSTRUCTOR
The constructor takes the following parameters in addition to the
standard parameters documented in Log::Dispatch::Output:
o ident ($)
This string will be prepended to all messages in the system log.
Defaults to $0.
o logopt ($)
A string containing the log options (separated by any separator you
like). See the openlog(3) and Sys::Syslog docs for more details.
Defaults to ''.
o facility ($)
Specifies what type of program is doing the logging to the system
log. Valid options are 'auth', 'authpriv', 'cron', 'daemon', 'kern',
'local0' through 'local7', 'mail, 'news', 'syslog', 'user', 'uucp'.
Defaults to 'user'
o socket ($, \@, or \%)
Tells what type of socket to use for sending syslog messages. Valid
options are listed in "Sys::Syslog".
If you don't provide this, then we let "Sys::Syslog" simply pick one
that works, which is the preferred option, as it makes your code more
portable.
If you pass an array reference, it is dereferenced and passed to
"Sys::Syslog::setlogsock()".
If you pass a hash reference, it is passed to
"Sys::Syslog::setlogsock()" as is.
o lock ($)
If this is set to a true value, then the calls to "setlogsock()",
"openlog()", "syslog()", and "closelog()" will all be guarded by a
thread-locked variable.
This is only relevant when running you are using Perl threads in your
application. Setting this to a true value will cause the threads and
threads::shared modules to be loaded.
This defaults to false.
