typedef BasicLayout DefaultLayoutType

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

name The name of the Appender
syslogName The ident parameter in the openlog(3) call.
facility The syslog facility to log to. Defaults to LOG_USER.

Sends a LoggingEvent to syslog.

Parameters

event the LoggingEvent to log.

Implements log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton.

Calls closelog(3) to close the syslog file descriptor.

Implements log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton.

Calls openlog(3).

Calls closelog(3) and openlog(3).

Reimplemented from log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton.

Translates a log4cpp priority to a syslog priority.

Parameters

priority The log4cpp priority.

Returns

the syslog priority.
