Detailed Description

SyslogAppender sends LoggingEvents to the local syslog system.

Definition at line 25 of file SyslogAppender.hh.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SyslogAppender::SyslogAppender	(	const std::string &	name,
		const std::string &	syslogName,
		int	facility = LOG_USER
	)

Instantiate a SyslogAppender with given name and name and facility for syslog.

Note that the C syslog API is process global, so instantion of a second SyslogAppender will 'overwrite' the syslog name of the first.

Parameters

name	The name of the Appender
syslogName	The ident parameter in the openlog(3) call.
facility	The syslog facility to log to. Defaults to LOG_USER.
