syslogger

Syslogger - A Log::Backend that writes to syslog.

Installation

1. Add the dependency to your shard.yml:

   dependencies:
     syslogger:
       version: 0.1.0
       github: lazau/syslogger
   

2. Run shards install

Usage

require "log"
require "syslogger"

Log.setup_from_env(backend: Log::SyslogBackend.new)

Thread Safety

Syslog is a process wide resource in Linux and FreeBSD see man syslog(3). OpenBSD allows reentrant syslogging, but Log::SyslogBackend doesn't currently support it. As of version 0.1.0, only a single Log::SyslogBackend is supported per process. Multiple instantiations result in undefined behavior. Writting to the SyslogBackend from different fibers result in undefined behavior.
