Struct flexi_logger::writers::SyslogWriter

pub struct SyslogWriter { /* fields omitted */ }

An experimental configurable LogWriter implementation that writes log messages to the syslog (see RFC 5424).

Only available with optional crate feature syslog_writer.

For using the SyslogWriter, you need to know how the syslog is managed on your system,
how you can access it and with which protocol you can write to it, so that you can choose a variant of the SyslogConnector that fits to your environment.

See the writers for guidance how to use additional log writers.

Implementations

impl SyslogWriter

pub fn try_new(
    facility: SyslogFacility,
    determine_severity: Option<LevelToSyslogSeverity>,
    max_log_level: LevelFilter,
    message_id: String,
    syslog: SyslogConnector
) -> IoResult<Box<Self>>

Returns a configured boxed instance.

Parameters

facility: An value representing a valid syslog facility value according to RFC 5424.

determine_severity: (optional) A function that maps the rust log levels to the syslog severities. If None is given, a trivial default mapping is used, which should be good enough in most cases.

message_id: The value being used as syslog's MSGID, which should identify the type of message. The value itself is a string without further semantics. It is intended for filtering messages on a relay or collector.

syslog: A SyslogConnector.

Errors

std::io::Error

Trait Implementations

impl LogWriter for SyslogWriter

pub fn write(&self, now: &mut DeferredNow, record: &Record<'_>) -> IoResult<()>

Writes out a log line.

pub fn flush(&self) -> IoResult<()>

Flushes any buffered records.

pub fn max_log_level(&self) -> LevelFilter

Provides the maximum log level that is to be written.

pub fn format(&mut self, format: FormatFunction)

Sets the format function. Defaults to (formats::default_format), but can be changed with a call to Logger::format_for_writer.

pub fn shutdown(&self)

Cleanup open resources, if necessary.
