log4rs-syslog

log4rs-syslog - very simple syslog appender for the log4s based on the libc's syslog() function. Supports only *nix systems.

Documentation on docs.rs

Features: * Logging with or without calling openlog() with identification string, logging options and facility. * Custom mapping between rust's log crate log levels and syslog's log levels.

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml: toml [dependencies] log4rs-syslog = "1.0"

Initialization based on configuration file

Example configuration file: yaml appenders: syslog: kind: syslog openlog: ident: log4rs-syslog-example option: LOG_PID | LOG_NDELAY | LOG_CONS facility: Daemon encoder: pattern: "{M} - {m}" root: level: trace appenders: - syslog

Example code: ```rust

[macro_use]

extern crate log; extern crate log4rs; extern crate log4rs_syslog; extern crate tempfile;

fn main() { let mut deserializers = log4rs::file::Deserializers::new(); log4rssyslog::registerdeserializer(&mut deserializers);

// Note that configuration file should have right extension, otherwise log4rs will fail to
// recognize format.
log4rs::init_file("test.yaml", deserializers).unwrap();

trace!("Example trace message");
debug!("Example debug message");
info!("Example information message");
warn!("Example warning message");
error!("Example error message");

println!("Check your logs for new messages");

} ```

Manual initialization

Example code: ```rust

[macro_use]

extern crate log; extern crate log4rs; extern crate log4rs_syslog;

fn main() { // Use custom PatternEncoder to avoid duplicate timestamps in logs. let encoder = Box::new(log4rs::encode::pattern::PatternEncoder::new("{M} - {m}"));

let appender = Box::new(
    log4rs_syslog::SyslogAppender::builder()
        .encoder(encoder)
        .openlog(
            "log4rs-syslog-example",
            log4rs_syslog::LOG_PID,
            log4rs_syslog::Facility::Daemon,
        )
        .build(),
);

let config = log4rs::config::Config::builder()
    .appender(log4rs::config::Appender::builder().build(
        "syslog",
        appender,
    ))
    .build(log4rs::config::Root::builder().appender("syslog").build(
        log::LogLevelFilter::Trace,
    ))
    .unwrap();
log4rs::init_config(config).unwrap();

trace!("Example trace message");
debug!("Example debug message");
info!("Example information message");
warn!("Example warning message");
error!("Example error message");

println!("Check your logs for new messages");

} ```
