olivierauverlot / Syslog

Syslog is the implementation of the syslog protocol. This is an UDP client and it uses the port 514/UDP.

See RFC5424 for more info -- http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5424.txt

| s |
s := SLSyslog hostName: 'myserver.mydomain.org'.
s appName: 'test'.
s procID: (OSProcess thisOSProcess pid asString).
s alert: 'big problem with the coffee pot !!!' facilityLevel: (SLAuthLevel new).

The protocol supports advanced features of syslog as the message part (msgID) and structured data.

| s |
s := SLSyslog hostName: 'myserver.mydomain.org'.
s appName: 'myApp'.
s procID: (OSProcess thisOSProcess pid asString).

s alert: 'big problem with the coffee pot !!!' facilityLevel: (SLAuthLevel new) msgID: 'anOperation' structuredData: (
    OrderedCollection new 
        add: (SLStructuredData id: 'exampleSDID@32473' data: {
        'value'->3.
        'eventSource'->'Application'.
            'eventID'->'1011'} asDictionary); 
        add: (SLStructuredData id: 'exampleSDID@32475' data: { 'id'->'45665' } asDictionary); 
        yourself)

if you use rsyslogd, don't forget to activate the UDP server in the /etc/rsyslog.conf file.
