Detailed Description

Use SyslogAppender to send log messages to a remote syslog daemon.

Note that by default, this appender will split up messages that are more than 1024 bytes long, for compatability with BSD syslog(see RFC 3164). Modern syslog implementations(e.g. syslog-ng) can accept messages much larger, and may have a default of 8k. You may modify the default size of the messages by setting the MaxMessageLength option.

When the message is too large for the current MaxMessageLength, the packet number and total # will be appended to the end of the message like this: (5/10)

Member Function Documentation

◆ activateOptions()

void log4cxx::net::SyslogAppender::activateOptions ( log4cxx::helpers::Pool & p )

virtual

This method returns immediately as options are activated when they are set.

Reimplemented from log4cxx::AppenderSkeleton.

◆ append()

void log4cxx::net::SyslogAppender::append	(	const spi::LoggingEventPtr &	event,
		log4cxx::helpers::Pool &	p
	)

virtual

Subclasses of AppenderSkeleton should implement this method to perform actual logging.

See also AppenderSkeleton::doAppend method.

Implements log4cxx::AppenderSkeleton.

◆ close()

void log4cxx::net::SyslogAppender::close ( )

virtual

Release any resources held by this SyslogAppender.

Implements log4cxx::Appender.

◆ getFacility() [1/2]

static int log4cxx::net::SyslogAppender::getFacility ( const LogString & facilityName )

static

Returns the integer value corresponding to the named syslog facility, or -1 if it couldn't be recognized.

Parameters

facilityName one of the strings KERN, USER, MAIL, DAEMON, AUTH, SYSLOG, LPR, NEWS, UUCP, CRON, AUTHPRIV, FTP, LOCAL0, LOCAL1, LOCAL2, LOCAL3, LOCAL4, LOCAL5, LOCAL6, LOCAL7. The matching is case-insensitive.

◆ getFacility() [2/2]

LogString log4cxx::net::SyslogAppender::getFacility ( ) const

inline

Returns the value of the Facility option.

◆ getFacilityPrinting()

bool log4cxx::net::SyslogAppender::getFacilityPrinting ( ) const

inline

Returns the value of the FacilityPrinting option.

◆ getFacilityString()

static LogString log4cxx::net::SyslogAppender::getFacilityString ( int syslogFacility )

static

Returns the specified syslog facility as a lower-case String, e.g.

"kern", "user", etc.

◆ getMaxMessageLength()

int log4cxx::net::SyslogAppender::getMaxMessageLength ( ) const

inline

◆ getSyslogHost()

const LogString& log4cxx::net::SyslogAppender::getSyslogHost ( ) const

inline

Returns the value of the SyslogHost option.

◆ initSyslogFacilityStr()

void log4cxx::net::SyslogAppender::initSyslogFacilityStr ( )

protected

◆ requiresLayout()

virtual bool log4cxx::net::SyslogAppender::requiresLayout ( ) const

inlinevirtual

The SyslogAppender requires a layout.

Hence, this method returns true.

Implements log4cxx::Appender.

◆ setFacility()

void log4cxx::net::SyslogAppender::setFacility ( const LogString & facilityName )

Set the syslog facility.

This is the Facility option.

The facilityName parameter must be one of the strings KERN, USER, MAIL, DAEMON, AUTH, SYSLOG, LPR, NEWS, UUCP, CRON, AUTHPRIV, FTP, LOCAL0, LOCAL1, LOCAL2, LOCAL3, LOCAL4, LOCAL5, LOCAL6, LOCAL7. Case is unimportant.

◆ setFacilityPrinting()

void log4cxx::net::SyslogAppender::setFacilityPrinting ( bool facilityPrinting1 )

inline

If the FacilityPrinting option is set to true, the printed message will include the facility name of the application.

It is false by default.

◆ setMaxMessageLength()

void log4cxx::net::SyslogAppender::setMaxMessageLength ( int maxMessageLength1 )

inline

◆ setOption()

void log4cxx::net::SyslogAppender::setOption	(	const LogString &	option,
		const LogString &	value
	)

virtual

Set option to value.

The handling of each option depends on the OptionHandler instance. Some options may become active immediately whereas other may be activated only when activateOptions is called.

Reimplemented from log4cxx::AppenderSkeleton.

◆ setSyslogHost()

void log4cxx::net::SyslogAppender::setSyslogHost ( const LogString & syslogHost )

The SyslogHost option is the name of the the syslog host where log output should go.

WARNING If the SyslogHost is not set, then this appender will fail.
