A drop-in replacement for the standard Logger Ruby library, that logs to the syslog instead of a log file. Contrary to the SyslogLogger library, you can specify the facility and the syslog options.
Installation
$ gem install syslogger
Usage
require 'syslogger' # Will send all messages to the local0 facility, adding the process id in the message logger = Syslogger.new("app_name", Syslog::LOG_PID, Syslog::LOG_LOCAL0) # Optionally split messages to the specified number of bytes logger.max_octets = 480 # Send messages that are at least of the Logger::INFO level logger.level = Logger::INFO # use Logger levels logger.debug "will not appear" logger.info "will appear" logger.warn "will appear"
