Note��� This appender uses the POSIX libc library functionsopenlog
,syslog
, andcloselog
. If these functions are not available on the local system then this appender will not work!
The functions openlog
, syslog
, and closelog

This appender talks to a local syslog service. If you need to log to a remote syslog daemon and you cannot configure your local syslog service to do this you may be able to use the RemoteSyslogAppender to log via UDP.
Syslog messages must have a facility and and a severity. The severity is derived from the Level of the logging event. The facility must be chosen from the set of defined syslog LocalSyslogAppender.SyslogFacility values. The facilities list is predefined and cannot be extended.
An identifier is specified with each log message. This can be specified by setting the Identity property. The identity (also know as the tag) must not contain white space. The default value for the identity is the application name (from ApplicationFriendlyName).
