NAME
Log::Report::Dispatcher::Syslog - send messages to syslog
INHERITANCE
Log::Report::Dispatcher::Syslog
is a Log::Report::Dispatcher
SYNOPSIS
# add syslog dispatcher
dispatcher SYSLOG => 'syslog', accept => 'NOTICE-'
, format_reason => 'IGNORE'
, to_prio => [ 'ALERT-' => 'err' ];
# disable default dispatcher, when daemon
dispatcher close => 'default';
DESCRIPTION
This dispatchers produces output to syslog, based on the Sys::Syslog module (which will
NOT be automatically installed for you, because some systems have a problem with this
dependency).
The REASON for a message often uses names which are quite similar to the log-levels used
by syslog. However: they have a different purpose. The REASON is used by the programmer
to indicate the cause of the message: whether it was able to handle a certain situation.
The syslog levels are there for the user's of the program (with syslog usually the system
administrators). It is not unusual to see a "normal" error or mistake as a very serious
situation in a production environment. So, you may wish to translate any message above
reason MISTAKE into a LOG_CRIT.
The default translation table is list below. You can change the mapping using
new(to_prio). See example in SYNOPSIS.
TRACE => LOG_DEBUG ERROR => LOG_ERR
ASSERT => LOG_DEBUG FAULT => LOG_ERR
INFO => LOG_INFO ALERT => LOG_ALERT
NOTICE => LOG_NOTICE FAILURE => LOG_EMERG
WARNING => LOG_WARNING PANIC => LOG_CRIT
MISTAKE => LOG_WARNING

Log::Report::Dispatcher::Syslog->new($type, $name, %options)
With syslog, people tend not to include the REASON of the message in the logs, because
that is already used to determine the destination of the message.
-Option --Defined in --Default
accept Log::Report::Dispatcher depend on mode
charset 'utf8'
facility 'user'
flags 'pid,nowait'
format <unchanged>
format_reason Log::Report::Dispatcher 'IGNORE'
identity <basename $0>
include_domain <false>
locale Log::Report::Dispatcher <system locale>
logsocket undef
mode Log::Report::Dispatcher 'NORMAL'
to_prio []
accept => REASONS
charset => CHARSET
Translate the text-strings into the specified charset, otherwise the sysadmin may
get unreadable text.
facility => STRING
The possible values for this depend (a little) on the system. POSIX only defines
"user", and "local0" up to "local7".
flags => STRING
Any combination of flags as defined by Sys::Syslog, for instance "pid", "ndelay",
and "nowait".
format => CODE
[1.10] With a CODE reference you get your hands on the text before it gets sent to
syslog. The three parameters are: the (translated) text, the related text domain
object, and the message object. You may want to use context information from the
latter.
[1.19] After the three positional parameters, there may be a list of pairs (named
parameters) with additional info. This may contain a "location" with an ARRAY of
information produced by caller() about the origin of the exception.
format_reason => 'UPPERCASE'|'LOWERCASE'|'UCFIRST'|'IGNORE'|CODE
identity => STRING
include_domain => BOOLEAN
[1.00] Include the text-domain of the message in each logged message.
locale => LOCALE
logsocket => 'unix'|'inet'|'stream'|HASH
If specified, the log socket type will be initialized to this before "openlog()" is
called. If not specified, the system default is used.
mode => 'NORMAL'|'VERBOSE'|'ASSERT'|'DEBUG'|0..3
to_prio => ARRAY-of-PAIRS
See reasonToPrio().
