NAME

Net::Syslog - Perl extension for sending syslog messages directly to a remote syslogd.

SYNOPSIS

   use Net::Syslog;
   my $s=new Net::Syslog(Facility=>'local4',Priority=>'debug');
   $s->send('see this in syslog',Priority=>'info');
 
 

DESCRIPTION

Net::Syslog implements the intra-host syslog forwarding protocol. It is not intended to replace the Sys::Syslog or Unix::Syslog modules, but instead to provide a method of using syslog when a local syslogd is unavailable or when you don't want to write syslog messages to the local syslog.

The new call sets up default values, any of which can be overridden in the send call. Keys (listed with default values) are:

         Name            <calling script name>
         Facility        local5
         Priority        err
         SyslogPort      514
         SyslogHost      127.0.0.1
 
 

Valid Facilities are:         kern, user, mail, daemon, auth, syslog, lpr, news, uucp, cron,
        authpriv, ftp, local0, local1, local2, local3, local4, local5, local6

Valid Priorities are:         emerg, alert, crit, err, warning, notice, info, debug
