NAME

       Log::Agent::Driver::Syslog - syslog logging driver for Log::Agent

SYNOPSIS

	use Log::Agent;
	require Log::Agent::Driver::Syslog;

	my $driver = Log::Agent::Driver::Syslog->make(
	    -prefix	=> prefix,
	    -facility	=> "user",
	    -showpid	=> 1,
	    -socktype	=> "unix",
	    -logopt	=> "ndelay",
	);
	logconfig(-driver => $driver);

DESCRIPTION

       The syslog logging driver delegates logxxx() operations to syslog() via the Sys::Syslog(3) interface.

       The creation routine make() takes the following switches:

       "-facility" => facility
	   Tell syslog() which facility to use (e.g. "user", "auth", "daemon").  Unlike the Sys::Syslog(3) interface, the facility is set once and
	   for all: every logging message will use the same facility.

	   If you wish to log something to "auth" for instance, then do so via Sys::Syslog directly: there is no guarantee that the application
	   will configure its Log::Agent to use syslog anyway!

       "-logopt" => syslog options
	   Specifies logging options, under the form of a string containing zero or more of the words ndelay, cons or nowait.

       "-prefix" => prefix
	   The prefix here is syslog's identification string.

       "-showpid" => flag
	   Set to true to have the PID of the process logged. It is false by default.

       "-socktype" => (unix | inet)
	   Specifies the logging socket type to use. The default behaviour is to use Sys:Syslog's default.

CHANNELS

       All the channels go to syslog(), of course.
