Syslog Hooks for Logrus

Usage

import (
  "log/syslog"
  "github.com/sirupsen/logrus"
  lSyslog "github.com/sirupsen/logrus/hooks/syslog"
)

func main() {
  log       := logrus.New()
  hook, err := lSyslog.NewSyslogHook("udp", "localhost:514", syslog.LOG_INFO, "")

  if err == nil {
    log.Hooks.Add(hook)
  }
}

If you want to connect to local syslog (Ex. "/dev/log" or "/var/run/syslog" or "/var/run/log"). Just assign empty string to the first two parameters of NewSyslogHook. It should look like the following.

import (
  "log/syslog"
  "github.com/sirupsen/logrus"
  lSyslog "github.com/sirupsen/logrus/hooks/syslog"
)

func main() {
  log       := logrus.New()
  hook, err := lSyslog.NewSyslogHook("", "", syslog.LOG_INFO, "")

  if err == nil {
    log.Hooks.Add(hook)
  }
}

Types

type SyslogHook

type SyslogHook struct {
	Writer        *syslog.Writer
	SyslogNetwork string
	SyslogRaddr   string
}

SyslogHook to send logs via syslog.

func NewSyslogHook

func NewSyslogHook(network, raddr string, priority syslog.Priority, tag string) (*SyslogHook, error)

Creates a hook to be added to an instance of logger. This is called with `hook, err := NewSyslogHook("udp", "localhost:514", syslog.LOG_DEBUG, "")` `if err == nil { log.Hooks.Add(hook) }`

func (*SyslogHook) Fire

func (hook *SyslogHook) Fire(entry *logrus.Entry) error

func (*SyslogHook) Levels

func (hook *SyslogHook) Levels() []logrus.Level
