# Dancer::Logger::Syslog(3pm)

Dancer logger engine for Sys::Syslog

## NAME

Dancer::Logger::Syslog - Dancer logger engine for Sys::Syslog

## VERSION

version 0.6

## DESCRIPTION

This module implements a logger engine that send log messages to syslog, through the Sys::Syslog module.

## CONFIGURATION

The setting **logger** should be set to `"syslog"` in order to use this session engine in a Dancer application.

You can also specify the other configuration via the 'syslog' config key, e.g.

```
 syslog:
   facility: 'local0'
   ident: 'my_app'
```

The allowed options are:

- facility

  Which syslog facility to use, defaults to 'USER'

- ident

  String prepended to every log line, defaults to the configured *appname* or, if not defined, to the executable's basename.

- logopt

  Log options passed top `"openlog()"` as per Sys::Syslog's docs. Defaults to 'pid'.

## METHODS

### init()

The init method is called by Dancer when creating the logger engine with this class.

### format\_message()

This method defines how to format messages for Syslog, it's a bit different  than the standard one provided by Dancer::Logger::Abstract because Syslog already provides a couple of information.

## DEPENDENCY

This module depends on Sys::Syslog.

## SEE ALSO

See Dancer for details about logging in route handlers.
