Driver syslog

Supported keywords:

• comment
• facility
• host
• level
• port

Keyword comment

required:    false
scopable:    false

Description:

A free form text describing the role of the object, of the node, or of the section it is set in.

The keyword is accepted in any section, so the DEFAULT section can document a configuration as a whole, and a resource, pool, heartbeat, array or network section can document itself.

The agent does not interpret the value.

Keyword facility

required:    false
scopable:    false
default:     daemon

Description:

The syslog facility to log to.

Keyword host

required:    false
scopable:    false

Default:

localhost if port is set.

Description:

The syslog server host to send logs to.

If neither host nor port are specified and if /dev/log exists, the messages are posted to /dev/log.

Keyword level

required:    false
scopable:    false
candidates:  critical, error, warning, info, debug
default:     info

Description:

The minimum message criticity to feed to syslog.

Setting to critical actually disables the syslog logging, as the agent does not emit messages at this level.

Keyword port

required:    false
scopable:    false
default:     514

Description:

The syslog server port to send logs to.

If neither host nor port are specified and if /dev/log exists, the messages are posted to /dev/log.
