Net::Server::Log::Sys::Syslog(3pm)

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.
