Public Methods

 SyslogLogger (char *ident, int option=LOG_NDELAY|LOG_PID|LOG_CONS|LOG_PERROR, int facility=LOG_LOCAL0)
virtual ~SyslogLogger ()
virtual void log (LOGGING_LEVELS level, char *format,...)

Detailed Description

Logger implementation that sends logs to the UNIX syslog. By default, syslog messages are saved in /var/log/messages. This logging implementation does the same. However, you may also specify the facility for storage. By default, it is LOG_LOCAL0 (see syslog man page (3)). To store these messages in a different log file, append the following to /etc/syslog.conf and restart the syslog daemon: 
		#
		# AFSPv2 Logging
		local0.*                                        /var/log/afsp.log
The previous example places all LOG_LOCAL0 facility messages in the file /var/log/afsp.log.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

nevelex_util::SyslogLogger::SyslogLogger ( char * ident,
int option = LOG_NDELAY|LOG_PID|LOG_CONS|LOG_PERROR,
int facility = LOG_LOCAL0 )
 

Default constructor initalizes the syslog.

Parameters:
ident   string added to each log message.
option   list of logging parameters as defined by syslog man page (3). Defaults to logging pid, printing to stderr, openning the connection immediately and logging to the system console on logging errors.
facility   type of programming logging as defined by syslog man page (3). Defaults to LOG_LOCAL0.
Exceptions:
std::runtime_error   if ident is null.

nevelex_util::SyslogLogger::~SyslogLogger ( ) [virtual]
 

Default destructor uninits the syslog.

Parameters:
level   one of the enumeration values supplied in LOGGING_LEVELS enumeration.
