Overview

Package tcp implements a tcp socket writer which implements the Writer.

The tcp socket writer aims at log watching. For log transmission, use a syslog writer instead. With a tcp socket writer, you can use 'netcat' to receive and watch logs rather than the 'tail' which is inconvenient because a new log file will be created when a log file reaches its max size.

For performance and security, use a unix writer instead as long as the system has support for unix domain socket. Otherwise, bind the address to localhost only.

Types

type Config

type Config struct {
	// If Tag is not specified, "localhost:9999" is used.
	Addr string
}

A Config is used to configure a tcp socket writer.

type Writer

type Writer struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

A Writer implements the interface iface.Writer.

All methods of a Writer are concurrency safe. A Writer MUST be created with Open.

func Open

func Open(config Config) (*Writer, error)

Open creates a new Writer with the config.

func (*Writer) Close

func (writer *Writer) Close() error

Close closes the Writer.

func (*Writer) Write

func (writer *Writer) Write(bs []byte, record *iface.Record)

Write implements the interface Writer. It writes logs to tcp sockets.
