# Net::Server::Log::Sys::Syslog - phpMan

## 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.
