NAME

       Net::Server::Log::Sys::Syslog - log via Syslog

SYNOPSIS

           use base qw(Net::Server::PreFork);

           __PACKAGE__->run(
               log_file => 'Sys::Syslog',
               syslog_ident => 'myapp',
           );

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides Sys::Syslog logging to the Net::Server system.

CONFIGURATION

       log_file
           To begin using Sys::Syslog logging, simply set the Net::Server log_file configuration
           parameter to "Sys::Syslog".

           If the magic name "Sys::Syslog" is used, all logging will take place via the
           Sys::Syslog module.  If syslog is used the parameters "syslog_logsock",
           "syslog_ident", and "syslog_logopt",and "syslog_facility" may also be defined.

       syslog_logsock
           Only available if "log_file" is equal to "Sys::Syslog".  May be either unix, inet,
           native, console, stream, udp, or tcp, or an arrayref of the types to try.  Default is
           "unix" if the version of Sys::Syslog < 0.15 - otherwise the default is to not call
           setlogsock.

           See Sys::Syslog.

       syslog_ident
           Only available if "log_file" is equal to "Sys::Syslog".  Id to prepend on syslog
           entries.  Default is "net_server".  See Sys::Syslog.

       syslog_logopt
           Only available if "log_file" is equal to "Sys::Syslog".  May be either zero or more of
           "pid","cons","ndelay","nowait".  Default is "pid".  See Sys::Syslog.

       syslog_facility
           Only available if "log_file" is equal to "Sys::Syslog".  See Sys::Syslog and syslog.
           Default is "daemon".

DEFAULT ARGUMENTS FOR Net::Server

       The following arguments are available in the default "Net::Server" or
       "Net::Server::Single" modules.  (Other personalities may use additional parameters and may
       optionally not use parameters from the base class.)

           Key               Value                    Default

           ## syslog parameters (if log_file eq Sys::Syslog)
           syslog_logsock    (native|unix|inet|udp
                              |tcp|stream|console)    unix (on Sys::Syslog < 0.15)
           syslog_ident      "identity"               "net_server"
           syslog_logopt     (cons|ndelay|nowait|pid) pid
           syslog_facility   \w+                      daemon

METHODS

       "initialize"
           This method is called during the initilize_logging method of Net::Server.  It returns
           a single code ref that will be stored under the log_function property of the
           Net::Server object.  That code ref takes log_level and message as arguments and calls
           the initialized log4perl system.

       "handle_log_error"
           This method is called if the log_function fails for some reason.  It is passed the
           Net::Server object, the error that occurred while logging and an arrayref containing
           the log level and the message.  In turn, this calls the legacy
           Net::Server::handle_syslog_error method.
