Easy to use interface for syslogging both for remote and local Linux/BSD systems.

• RubyGems.org

gem install em-syslog-logger

API Change You most supply a config hash or nothing for arugments on logger creation Resource pattern has been updated see "Usage" All other sugar is the same as before, but backend class struct changed around a bit.

DEFAULTS = {:idenity => $PROGRAM_NAME, :include_hostname => false, :resource => "udp:/dev/log" }

• resource = tcp:(<abs_path>|//host|//host:port)|udp:(<abs_path>|//host|//host:port)
• include_hostname = some sysloggers seem to insert this just fine other will not

EM.run { logger = EM::Syslog.logger( {:idenity => "em-syslog-test"}) EM.next_tick { logger.log( "TEST INFO", :daemons, :info) logger.mail_error( "MAIL ERROR") } }
