# Syslog Hooks for Logrus <img src="http://i.imgur.com/hTeVwmJ.png" width="40" height="40" alt=":walrus:" class="emoji" title=":walrus:"/> ## Usage ```go import ( "log/syslog" "github.com/sirupsen/logrus" lSyslog "github.com/sirupsen/logrus/hooks/syslog" ) func main() { log := logrus.New() hook, err := lSyslog.NewSyslogHook("udp", "localhost:514", syslog.LOG_INFO, "") if err == nil { log.Hooks.Add(hook) } } ``` If you want to connect to local syslog (Ex. "/dev/log" or "/var/run/syslog" or "/var/run/log"). Just assign empty string to the first two parameters of `NewSyslogHook`. It should look like the following. ```go import ( "log/syslog" "github.com/sirupsen/logrus" lSyslog "github.com/sirupsen/logrus/hooks/syslog" ) func main() { log := logrus.New() hook, err := lSyslog.NewSyslogHook("", "", syslog.LOG_INFO, "") if err == nil { log.Hooks.Add(hook) } } ```
