Overview ¶
The syslog package provides a syslog client.
Unlike the core log/syslog package it uses the newer rfc5424 syslog protocol, reliably reconnects on failure, and supports TLS encrypted TCP connections.

Types ¶
type Logger ¶
type Logger struct {
Packets chan Packet
Errors chan error
ClientHostname string
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
A Logger is a connection to a syslog server. It reconnects on error. Clients log by sending a Packet to the logger.Packets channel.
func Dial ¶
func Dial(clientHostname, network, raddr string, rootCAs *x509.CertPool, connectTimeout time.Duration, writeTimeout time.Duration, tcpMaxLineLength int) (*Logger, error)
Dial connects to the syslog server at raddr, using the optional certBundle, and launches a goroutine to watch logger.Packets for messages to log.
type Packet ¶
type Packet struct {
Severity Priority
Facility Priority
Time time.Time
Hostname string
Tag string
Token string
Message string
}
A Packet represents an RFC5424 syslog message
type Priority ¶
type Priority int
A Syslog Priority is a combination of Severity and Facility.
