NAME

       Log::Agent::Driver::Syslog - syslog logging driver for Log::Agent

SYNOPSIS

        use Log::Agent;
        require Log::Agent::Driver::Syslog;

        my $driver = Log::Agent::Driver::Syslog->make(
            -prefix     => prefix,
            -facility   => "user",
            -showpid    => 1,
            -socktype   => { port => 514, proto => "udp" },
            -logopt     => "ndelay",
        );
        logconfig(-driver => $driver);

DESCRIPTION

       The syslog logging driver delegates logxxx() operations to syslog() via the Sys::Syslog(3) interface.

       The creation routine make() takes the following switches:

       "-facility" => facility
           Tell  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 logging message will use the same facility.

           If you wish to log something to "auth" for instance, then do so via Sys::Syslog directly: there is no
           guarantee that the application will configure its Log::Agent to use syslog anyway!

       "-logopt" => syslog options
           Specifies logging options, under the form of a string containing zero or more of  the  words  ndelay,
           cons or nowait.

       "-prefix" => prefix
           The prefix here is syslog's identification string.

       "-showpid" => flag
           Set to true to have the PID of the process logged. It is false by default.

       "-socktype" => options
           Specifies  the  logging  socket  to  use  (protocol,  destination,  etc.).   The  value  given is not
           interpreted and passed as-is to the "setlogsock()" routine in Sys::Syslog(3).

           Please refer to Log::Agent::Channel::Syslog(3) for more information.

CHANNELS

       All the channels go to syslog(), of course.
