Detailed Description

SyslogAppender sends LoggingEvents to the local syslog system.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

log4cpp::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
nameThe name of the Appender
syslogNameThe ident parameter in the openlog(3) call.
facilityThe syslog facility to log to. Defaults to LOG_USER.
virtual log4cpp::SyslogAppender::~SyslogAppender ( )
virtual

Member Function Documentation

virtual void log4cpp::SyslogAppender::_append ( const LoggingEvent event)
protectedvirtual

virtual void log4cpp::SyslogAppender::open ( )
protectedvirtual

Calls openlog(3).

virtual bool log4cpp::SyslogAppender::reopen ( )
virtual

Calls closelog(3) and openlog(3).

Reimplemented from log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton.

static int log4cpp::SyslogAppender::toSyslogPriority ( Priority::Value  priority)
static

Translates a log4cpp priority to a syslog priority.

Parameters
