VERSION
    version 1.710

SYNOPSIS
        use Log::Any::Adapter 'Syslog';
        # ... or ...
        use Log::Any::Adapter;
        Log::Any::Adapter->set('Syslog');

        # You can override defaults:
        Log::Any::Adapter->set(
            'Syslog',
            # name defaults to basename($0)
            name     => 'my-name',
            # options default to "pid"
            options  => "pid,ndelay",
            # facility defaults to "local7"
            facility => "mail"
        );

DESCRIPTION
    Log::Any is a generic adapter for writing logging into Perl modules; this adapter use the
    Sys::Syslog module to direct that output into the OS's logging system (even on Windows).

CONFIGURATION
    "Log::Any::Adapter::Syslog" is designed to work out of the box with no configuration required;
    the defaults should be reasonably sensible.

    You can override the default configuration by passing extra arguments to the "Log::Any::Adapter"
    method:

    name
        The *name* argument defaults to the basename of $0 if not supplied, and is inserted into
        each line sent to syslog to identify the source.

    options
        The *options* configure the behaviour of syslog; see Sys::Syslog for details.

        The default is "pid", which includes the PID of the current process after the process name:

            example-process[2345]: something amazing!

        The most likely addition to that is "perror" (non-POSIX) which causes syslog to also send a
        copy of all log messages to the controlling terminal of the process.

    facility
        The *facility* determines where syslog sends your messages. The default is "local7", which
        is not the most useful value ever, but is less bad than assuming the fixed facilities.

        See Sys::Syslog and syslog(3) for details on the available facilities.

    log_level
        Minimum log level. All messages below the selected level will be silently discarded. Default
        is debug.

        If LOG_LEVEL environment variable is set, it will be used instead. If TRACE environment
        variable is set to true, level will be set to 'trace'. If DEBUG environment variable is set
        to true, level will be set to 'debug'. If VERBOSE environment variable is set to true, level
        will be set to 'info'.If QUIET environment variable is set to true, level will be set to
        'error'.
