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   => "unix",
            -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" => (unix | inet)
           Specifies the logging socket type to use. The default behaviour is to use Sys:Syslog's
           default.

CHANNELS

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