NAME

HeliosX::Logger::Syslog - Helios::Logger subclass implementing logging to syslogd for Helios

SYNOPSIS

 # in helios.ini
 loggers=HeliosX::Logger::Syslog
 syslog_facility=user
 # can use other options as necessary
 syslog_options=nofatal,pid 

DESCRIPTION

This class implments a Helios::Logger subclass to provide Helios applications the ability to log messages to syslogd.

CONFIGURATION

Config options:

syslog_facility [REQUIRED]

The syslogd facility to log messages to.

syslog_options

A comma-delimited list of syslog options. This will be passed as the second parameter of openlog(). See the Sys::Syslog manpage for more details.

IMPLEMENTED METHODS

init()

The init() method verifies that the syslog_facility configuration parameter is set in helios.ini. Without it, HeliosX::Logger::Syslog (and Sys::Syslog) will not function properly.

logMsg($job, $priority_level, $message)

The logMsg() method logs the given message to the configured syslog_facility with the configured syslog_options and the given $priority_level.
