Types ¶
type BaseHandler ¶
type BaseHandler struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
BaseHandler is designed to simplify the creation of real handlers. It implements Handler interface using nonblocking queuing of messages and simple message filtering.
func NewBaseHandler ¶
func NewBaseHandler(qlen int, filter func(SyslogMessage) bool, ft bool) *BaseHandler
NewBaseHandler creates BaseHandler using a specified filter. If filter is nil or if it returns true messages are passed to BaseHandler internal queue (of qlen length). If filter returns false or ft is true messages are returned to server for future processing by other handlers.
func (*BaseHandler) End ¶
func (h *BaseHandler) End()
End signals the server that the handler properly shutdown. You need to call End only if Get has returned nil before.
func (*BaseHandler) Get ¶
func (h *BaseHandler) Get() SyslogMessage
Get returns first message from internal queue. It waits for message if queue is empty. It returns nil if there is no more messages to process and handler should shutdown.
func (*BaseHandler) Handle ¶
func (h *BaseHandler) Handle(m SyslogMessage) SyslogMessage
Handle inserts m in an internal queue. It immediately returns even if queue is full. If m == nil it closes queue and waits for End method call before return.
func (*BaseHandler) Queue ¶
func (h *BaseHandler) Queue() <-chan SyslogMessage
Queue returns the BaseHandler internal queue as a read-only channel. You can use it directly, especially if your handler needs to select from multiple channels or have to work without blocking. You need to check if this channel is closed by sender and properly shutdown in this case.
type Facility ¶
type Facility byte
Facility represents a message source as defined by RFC 3164.
const ( Kern Facility = iota // kernel messages User // user-level messages Mail // mail system Daemon // system daemons Auth // security/authorization messages Syslog // messages internal to syslogd Lpr // line printer subsystem News // newtork news subsystem Uucp // UUCP subsystem Cron // cron messages Authpriv // security/authorization messages System0 // historically FTP daemon System1 // historically NTP subsystem System2 // historically log audit System3 // historically log alert System4 // historically clock daemon, some operating systems use this for cron Local0 // local use 0 Local1 // local use 1 Local2 // local use 2 Local3 // local use 3 Local4 // local use 4 Local5 // local use 5 Local6 // local use 6 Local7 // local use 7 )
The following is a list of Facilities as defined by RFC 3164.
type FatalLogger ¶
type FatalLogger interface {
Fatal(...interface{})
Fatalf(format string, v ...interface{})
Fatalln(...interface{})
}
FatalLogger is an interface for logging package internal fatal errors
type FileHandler ¶
type FileHandler struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
FileHandler implements Handler interface to save messages into a text file. It properly handles logrotate HUP signal (closes a file and tries to open/create new one).
func NewFileHandler ¶
func NewFileHandler(filename string, qlen int, filter func(SyslogMessage) bool, ft bool) *FileHandler
NewFileHandler accepts all arguments expected by NewBaseHandler plus filename which is the path to the log file.
func (*FileHandler) Handle ¶
func (h *FileHandler) Handle(m SyslogMessage) SyslogMessage
Handle queues and dispatches a message. See BaseHandler.Handle
func (*FileHandler) SetLogger ¶
func (h *FileHandler) SetLogger(l Logger)
SetLogger changes an internal logger used to log I/O errors. By default I/O errors are written to os.Stderr using log.Logger.
type Handler ¶
type Handler interface {
// Handle should return Message (maybe modified) for future processing by
// other handlers or return nil. If Handle is called with nil message it
// should complete all remaining work and properly shutdown before return.
Handle(SyslogMessage) SyslogMessage
}
Handler handles syslog messages
type Logger ¶
type Logger interface {
Print(...interface{})
Printf(format string, v ...interface{})
Println(...interface{})
}
Logger is an interface for package internal (non fatal) logging
type Server ¶
type Server struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
Server is the wrapper for a syslog server.
func (*Server) AddHandler ¶
AddHandler adds h to internal ordered list of handlers
func (*Server) Listen ¶
Listen starts gorutine that receives syslog messages on specified address. addr can be a path (for unix domain sockets) or host:port (for UDP).
func (*Server) SetLogger ¶
func (s *Server) SetLogger(l FatalLogger)
SetLogger sets logger for server errors. A running server is rather quiet and logs only fatal errors using FatalLogger interface. By default standard Go logger is used so errors are writen to stderr and after that whole application is halted. Using SetLogger you can change this behavior (log erross elsewhere and don't halt whole application).
type Severity ¶
type Severity byte
Severity represents a level of messsage importance.
const ( // Emerg - system is unusable Emerg Severity = iota // Alert - immediate action required Alert // Crit - critical conditions Crit // Err - error conditions Err // Warning - warning conditions Warning // Notice - normal but significant condition Notice // Info - information message Info // Debug - debug-level message Debug )
