Log::Dispatch::Syslog - Object for logging to system log.
version 2.54
use Log::Dispatch;
my $log = Log::Dispatch->new( outputs => [ [ 'Syslog', min_level => 'info', ident => 'Yadda yadda' ] ] );
$log->emerg("Time to die.");
This module provides a simple object for sending messages to the system log (via UNIX syslog calls).
Note that logging may fail if you try to pass UTF-8 characters in the
log message. If logging fails and warnings are enabled, the error
message will be output using Perl's warn
.
The constructor takes the following parameters in addition to the standard parameters documented in the Log::Dispatch::Output manpage:
openlog(3)
and Sys::Syslog docs for more details.
Defaults to ''.
Sys::Syslog
.
If you don't provide this, then we let Sys::Syslog
simply pick one
that works, which is the preferred option, as it makes your code more
portable.
If you pass an array reference, it is dereferenced and passed to
Sys::Syslog::setlogsock()
.
If you pass a hash reference, it is passed to Sys::Syslog::setlogsock()
as
is.
setlogsock()
,
openlog()
, syslog()
, and closelog()
will all be guarded by a
thread-locked variable.
This is only relevant when running you are using Perl threads in your application. Setting this to a true value will cause the the threads manpage and the threads::shared manpage modules to be loaded.
This defaults to false.
