| <a name="idp125725936"></a><h2>Description</h2> |
| <p>The backend provides support for the syslog protocol, defined in RFC3164. The backend sends log records to a remote host via UDP. The host name can be specified by calling the <code class="computeroutput">set_target_address</code> method. By default log records will be sent to localhost:514. The local address can be specified as well, by calling the <code class="computeroutput">set_local_address</code> method. By default syslog packets will be sent from any local address available.</p> |
| <p>It is safe to create several sink backends with the same local addresses - the backends within the process will share the same socket. The same applies to different processes that use the syslog backends to send records from the same socket. However, it is not guaranteed to work if some third party facility is using the socket.</p> |
| <p>On systems with native syslog implementation it may be preferable to utilize the POSIX syslog API instead of direct socket management in order to bypass possible security limitations that may be in action. To do so one has to pass the <code class="computeroutput">use_impl = native</code> to the backend constructor. Note, however, that in that case you will only have one chance to specify syslog facility and process identification string - on the first native syslog backend construction. Other native syslog backends will ignore these parameters. Obviously, the <code class="computeroutput">set_local_address</code> and <code class="computeroutput">set_target_address</code> methods have no effect for native backends. Using <code class="computeroutput">use_impl = native</code> on platforms with no native support for POSIX syslog API will have no effect. </p> |
