syslog-rs
This crate is still under development. v 0.2.1
An implementation of the syslog from glibc/libc like it was designed in in both system libraries. The API is almost compatible with what is in libc/glibc.
Available features:
- feature = "use_async" for asynchronious code
- feature = "use_sync" for synchronious code
- feature = "use_sync_queue" for synchronious with async processing
The use_sync
is acting like the libc's/glibc's functions syslog(), openlog()...
The use_sync_queue
has the same API as libc/glibc but is different in some ways. Also, it spawns a worker thread which sends messages from the queue to syslog.
The use_async
is async realization of the use_sync
. Untested, probably requires further dev.
All 3 features can be used simpltaniously.
!!! use_async
is using tokio mutex to achieve the synchronization. On the large async queues, when many tasks are spawned, the syslog becomes a performace bottleneck because syslog server may be busy, and syslog() is slow, and calling syslog() will lock other tasks until the lock will be released. Maybe it is good idea to have for example for each tokio thread a sibgle instance of the syslog.
Usage:
syslog-rs = {version = "0.1", default-features = false, features = ["use_sync"]}

extern crate lazy_static;
extern crate syslog_rs;
use Arc;
use thread;
use ;
use ;
lazy_static!
Benchmarking
The test spawns 2 threads and one main thread. All 3 threads are sending messages to syslog. The time measurment in the tables are approximations.
