NAME
    Net::Server::Log::Sys::Syslog - log via Syslog

SYNOPSIS
        use base qw(Net::Server::PreFork);

        __PACKAGE__->run(
            log_file => 'Sys::Syslog',
            syslog_ident => 'myapp',
        );

DESCRIPTION
    This module provides Sys::Syslog logging to the Net::Server system.

CONFIGURATION
    log_file
        To begin using Sys::Syslog logging, simply set the Net::Server log_file configuration
        parameter to "Sys::Syslog".

        If the magic name "Sys::Syslog" is used, all logging will take place via the Sys::Syslog
        module. If syslog is used the parameters "syslog_logsock", "syslog_ident", and
        "syslog_logopt",and "syslog_facility" may also be defined.

    syslog_logsock
        Only available if "log_file" is equal to "Sys::Syslog". May be either unix, inet, native,
        console, stream, udp, or tcp, or an arrayref of the types to try. Default is "unix" if the
        version of Sys::Syslog < 0.15 - otherwise the default is to not call setlogsock.

        See Sys::Syslog.

    syslog_ident
        Only available if "log_file" is equal to "Sys::Syslog". Id to prepend on syslog entries.
        Default is "net_server". See Sys::Syslog.

    syslog_logopt
        Only available if "log_file" is equal to "Sys::Syslog". May be either zero or more of
        "pid","cons","ndelay","nowait". Default is "pid". See Sys::Syslog.

    syslog_facility
        Only available if "log_file" is equal to "Sys::Syslog". See Sys::Syslog and syslog. Default
        is "daemon".

DEFAULT ARGUMENTS FOR Net::Server
    The following arguments are available in the default "Net::Server" or "Net::Server::Single"
    modules. (Other personalities may use additional parameters and may optionally not use
    parameters from the base class.)

        Key               Value                    Default

        ## syslog parameters (if log_file eq Sys::Syslog)
        syslog_logsock    (native|unix|inet|udp
                           |tcp|stream|console)    unix (on Sys::Syslog < 0.15)
        syslog_ident      "identity"               "net_server"
        syslog_logopt     (cons|ndelay|nowait|pid) pid
        syslog_facility   \w+                      daemon

METHODS
    "initialize"
        This method is called during the initilize_logging method of Net::Server. It returns a
        single code ref that will be stored under the log_function property of the Net::Server
        object. That code ref takes log_level and message as arguments and calls the initialized
        log4perl system.

    "handle_log_error"
        This method is called if the log_function fails for some reason. It is passed the
        Net::Server object, the error that occurred while logging and an arrayref containing the log
        level and the message. In turn, this calls the legacy Net::Server::handle_syslog_error
        method.
