Crate syslog

Syslog

This crate provides facilities to send log messages via syslog. It supports Unix sockets for local syslog, UDP and TCP for remote servers.

Messages can be passed directly without modification, or in RFC 3164 or RFC 5424 format

The code is available on Github

Example

extern crate syslog;

use syslog::{Facility,Severity};

fn main() {
  match syslog::unix(Facility::LOG_USER) {
    Err(e)         => println!("impossible to connect to syslog: {:?}", e),
    Ok(writer) => {
      let r = writer.send(Severity::LOG_ALERT, "hello world");
      if r.is_err() {
        println!("error sending the log {}", r.err().expect("got error"));
      }
    }
  }
}
