File Information
Library: Net
Package: Logging
Header: Poco/Net/RemoteSyslogChannel.h
Description
This Channel implements remote syslog logging over UDP according to RFC 5424 "The Syslog Protocol" and RFC 5426 "Transmission of syslog messages over UDP".
In addition, RemoteSyslogListener also supports the "old" BSD syslog protocol, as described in RFC 3164.
RFC 5425 structured data can be passed via the "structured-data" property of the log Message. The content of the "structured-data" property must be correct according to RFC 5425.
Example:
msg.set("structured-data", "[exampleSDID@32473 iut=\"3\" eventSource=\"Application\" eventID=\"1011\"]");

Constructors
RemoteSyslogChannel
Creates a RemoteSyslogChannel.
RemoteSyslogChannel
RemoteSyslogChannel(
const std::string & address,
const std::string & name,
int facility = SYSLOG_USER,
bool bsdFormat = false
);
Creates a RemoteSyslogChannel with the given target address, name, and facility. If bsdFormat is true, messages are formatted according to RFC 3164.
Destructor
~RemoteSyslogChannel 
Member Functions
close
void close();
Closes the RemoteSyslogChannel.
See also: Poco::Channel::close()
getProperty
std::string getProperty(
const std::string & name
) const;
Returns the value of the property with the given name.
See also: Poco::Channel::getProperty()
log
void log(
const Message & msg
);
Sends the message's text to the syslog service.
See also: Poco::Channel::log()
open
void open();
Opens the RemoteSyslogChannel.
See also: Poco::Channel::open()
registerChannel 
static void registerChannel();
Registers the channel with the global LoggingFactory.
setProperty
void setProperty(
const std::string & name,
const std::string & value
);
Sets the property with the given value.
The following properties are supported:
- name: The name used to identify the source of log messages.
- facility: The facility added to each log message. See the Facility enumeration for a list of supported values. The LOG_ prefix can be omitted and values are case insensitive (e.g. a facility value "mail" is recognized as SYSLOG_MAIL)
- format: "bsd"/"rfc3164" (RFC 3164 format) or "new"/"rfc5424" (default)
- loghost: The target IP address or host name where log messages are sent. Optionally, a port number (separated by a colon) can also be specified.
- host: (optional) Host name included in syslog messages. If not specified, the host's real domain name or IP address will be used.
- buffer: UDP socket send buffer size in bytes. If not specified, the system default is used.
