89c3c464 | 916 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
5be1dfc7 | 917 | |
89c3c464 AT |
918 | C<Sys::Syslog> is an interface to the UNIX C<syslog(3)> program. |
919 | Call C<syslog()> with a string priority and a list of C<printf()> args | |
920 | just like C<syslog(3)>. | |
5be1dfc7 | 921 | |
5be1dfc7 | 922 | |
89c3c464 | 923 | =head1 EXPORTS |
5be1dfc7 | 924 | |
89c3c464 | 925 | C<Sys::Syslog> exports the following C<Exporter> tags: |
5be1dfc7 | 926 | |
89c3c464 AT |
927 | =over 4 |
928 | ||
929 | =item * | |
930 | ||
931 | C<:standard> exports the standard C<syslog(3)> functions: | |
932 | ||
933 | openlog closelog setlogmask syslog | |
934 | ||
935 | =item * | |
936 | ||
937 | C<:extended> exports the Perl specific functions for C<syslog(3)>: | |
938 | ||
939 | setlogsock | |
940 | ||
941 | =item * | |
942 | ||
943 | C<:macros> exports the symbols corresponding to most of your C<syslog(3)> | |
944 | macros and the C<LOG_UPTO()> and C<LOG_MASK()> functions. | |
945 | See L<"CONSTANTS"> for the supported constants and their meaning. | |
946 | ||
947 | =back | |
948 | ||
949 | By default, C<Sys::Syslog> exports the symbols from the C<:standard> tag. | |
950 | ||
951 | ||
952 | =head1 FUNCTIONS | |
953 | ||
954 | =over 4 | |
955 | ||
956 | =item B<openlog($ident, $logopt, $facility)> | |
957 | ||
958 | Opens the syslog. | |
959 | C<$ident> is prepended to every message. C<$logopt> contains zero or | |
960 | more of the options detailed below. C<$facility> specifies the part | |
961 | of the system to report about, for example C<LOG_USER> or C<LOG_LOCAL0>: | |
962 | see L<"Facilities"> for a list of well-known facilities, and your | |
963 | C<syslog(3)> documentation for the facilities available in your system. | |
964 | Check L<"SEE ALSO"> for useful links. Facility can be given as a string | |
965 | or a numeric macro. | |
966 | ||
967 | This function will croak if it can't connect to the syslog daemon. | |
968 | ||
969 | Note that C<openlog()> now takes three arguments, just like C<openlog(3)>. | |
970 | ||
971 | B<You should use C<openlog()> before calling C<syslog()>.> | |
972 | ||
973 | B<Options> | |
974 | ||
975 | =over 4 | |
976 | ||
977 | =item * | |
978 | ||
979 | C<cons> - This option is ignored, since the failover mechanism will drop | |
980 | down to the console automatically if all other media fail. | |
981 | ||
982 | =item * | |
983 | ||
984 | C<ndelay> - Open the connection immediately (normally, the connection is | |
985 | opened when the first message is logged). | |
986 | ||
987 | =item * | |
988 | ||
06fd9d7a CBW |
989 | C<noeol> - When set to true, no end of line character (C<\n>) will be |
990 | appended to the message. This can be useful for some buggy syslog daemons. | |
991 | ||
992 | =item * | |
993 | ||
89c3c464 AT |
994 | C<nofatal> - When set to true, C<openlog()> and C<syslog()> will only |
995 | emit warnings instead of dying if the connection to the syslog can't | |
996 | be established. | |
997 | ||
998 | =item * | |
999 | ||
06fd9d7a CBW |
1000 | C<nonul> - When set to true, no C<NUL> character (C<\0>) will be |
1001 | appended to the message. This can be useful for some buggy syslog daemons. | |
1002 | ||
1003 | =item * | |
1004 | ||
89c3c464 AT |
1005 | C<nowait> - Don't wait for child processes that may have been created |
1006 | while logging the message. (The GNU C library does not create a child | |
1007 | process, so this option has no effect on Linux.) | |
1008 | ||
1009 | =item * | |
1010 | ||
35a209d1 | 1011 | C<perror> - Write the message to standard error output as well to the |
06fd9d7a | 1012 | system log (added in C<Sys::Syslo> 0.22). |
35a209d1 AT |
1013 | |
1014 | =item * | |
1015 | ||
89c3c464 AT |
1016 | C<pid> - Include PID with each message. |
1017 | ||
1018 | =back | |
1019 | ||
1020 | B<Examples> | |
1021 | ||
1022 | Open the syslog with options C<ndelay> and C<pid>, and with facility C<LOCAL0>: | |
1023 | ||
1024 | openlog($name, "ndelay,pid", "local0"); | |
1025 | ||
1026 | Same thing, but this time using the macro corresponding to C<LOCAL0>: | |
1027 | ||
1028 | openlog($name, "ndelay,pid", LOG_LOCAL0); | |
1029 | ||
1030 | ||
1031 | =item B<syslog($priority, $message)> | |
1032 | ||
1033 | =item B<syslog($priority, $format, @args)> | |
1034 | ||
1035 | If C<$priority> permits, logs C<$message> or C<sprintf($format, @args)> | |
1036 | with the addition that C<%m> in $message or C<$format> is replaced with | |
1037 | C<"$!"> (the latest error message). | |
1038 | ||
1039 | C<$priority> can specify a level, or a level and a facility. Levels and | |
a650b841 AT |
1040 | facilities can be given as strings or as macros. When using the C<eventlog> |
1041 | mechanism, priorities C<DEBUG> and C<INFO> are mapped to event type | |
06fd9d7a | 1042 | C<informational>, C<NOTICE> and C<WARNING> to C<warning> and C<ERR> to |
a650b841 | 1043 | C<EMERG> to C<error>. |
89c3c464 AT |
1044 | |
1045 | If you didn't use C<openlog()> before using C<syslog()>, C<syslog()> will | |
1046 | try to guess the C<$ident> by extracting the shortest prefix of | |
1047 | C<$format> that ends in a C<":">. | |
1048 | ||
1049 | B<Examples> | |
1050 | ||
06fd9d7a CBW |
1051 | # informational level |
1052 | syslog("info", $message); | |
1053 | syslog(LOG_INFO, $message); | |
89c3c464 | 1054 | |
06fd9d7a CBW |
1055 | # information level, Local0 facility |
1056 | syslog("info|local0", $message); | |
1057 | syslog(LOG_INFO|LOG_LOCAL0, $message); | |
89c3c464 AT |
1058 | |
1059 | =over 4 | |
1060 | ||
1061 | =item B<Note> | |
1062 | ||
1063 | C<Sys::Syslog> version v0.07 and older passed the C<$message> as the | |
1064 | formatting string to C<sprintf()> even when no formatting arguments | |
1065 | were provided. If the code calling C<syslog()> might execute with | |
1066 | older versions of this module, make sure to call the function as | |
1067 | C<syslog($priority, "%s", $message)> instead of C<syslog($priority, | |
1068 | $message)>. This protects against hostile formatting sequences that | |
1069 | might show up if $message contains tainted data. | |
1070 | ||
1071 | =back | |
1072 | ||
1073 | ||
1074 | =item B<setlogmask($mask_priority)> | |
1075 | ||
1076 | Sets the log mask for the current process to C<$mask_priority> and | |
1077 | returns the old mask. If the mask argument is 0, the current log mask | |
1078 | is not modified. See L<"Levels"> for the list of available levels. | |
1079 | You can use the C<LOG_UPTO()> function to allow all levels up to a | |
1080 | given priority (but it only accept the numeric macros as arguments). | |
1081 | ||
1082 | B<Examples> | |
1083 | ||
1084 | Only log errors: | |
1085 | ||
1086 | setlogmask( LOG_MASK(LOG_ERR) ); | |
1087 | ||
1088 | Log everything except informational messages: | |
1089 | ||
1090 | setlogmask( ~(LOG_MASK(LOG_INFO)) ); | |
1091 | ||
1092 | Log critical messages, errors and warnings: | |
1093 | ||
06fd9d7a CBW |
1094 | setlogmask( LOG_MASK(LOG_CRIT) |
1095 | | LOG_MASK(LOG_ERR) | |
1096 | | LOG_MASK(LOG_WARNING) ); | |
89c3c464 AT |
1097 | |
1098 | Log all messages up to debug: | |
1099 | ||
1100 | setlogmask( LOG_UPTO(LOG_DEBUG) ); | |
1101 | ||
1102 | ||
06fd9d7a CBW |
1103 | =item B<setlogsock()> |
1104 | ||
1105 | Sets the socket type and options to be used for the next call to C<openlog()> | |
1106 | or C<syslog()>. Returns true on success, C<undef> on failure. | |
89c3c464 | 1107 | |

1109 | be called as follow: | |

1244 | Try the native, UDP socket then UNIX domain socket mechanisms: | |

1249 | ||
1250 | =item B<Note> | |
1251 | ||
1252 | Now that the "native" mechanism is supported by C<Sys::Syslog> and selected | |
1253 | by default, the use of the C<setlogsock()> function is discouraged because | |
1254 | other mechanisms are less portable across operating systems. Authors of | |
1255 | modules and programs that use this function, especially its cargo-cult form | |
1256 | C<setlogsock("unix")>, are advised to remove any occurence of it unless they | |
1257 | specifically want to use a given mechanism (like TCP or UDP to connect to | |
1258 | a remote host). | |

1269 | =head1 THE RULES OF SYS::SYSLOG |
1270 | ||
1271 | I<The First Rule of Sys::Syslog is:> | |
1272 | You do not call C<setlogsock>. | |
1273 | ||
1274 | I<The Second Rule of Sys::Syslog is:> | |
1275 | You B<do not> call C<setlogsock>. | |
1276 | ||
1277 | I<The Third Rule of Sys::Syslog is:> | |
1278 | The program crashes, C<die>s, calls C<closelog>, the log is over. | |
1279 | ||
1280 | I<The Fourth Rule of Sys::Syslog is:> | |
1281 | One facility, one priority. | |
1282 | ||
1283 | I<The Fifth Rule of Sys::Syslog is:> | |
1284 | One log at a time. | |
1285 | ||
1286 | I<The Sixth Rule of Sys::Syslog is:> | |
1287 | No C<syslog> before C<openlog>. | |
1288 | ||
1289 | I<The Seventh Rule of Sys::Syslog is:> | |
1290 | Logs will go on as long as they have to. | |
1291 | ||
1292 | I<The Eighth, and Final Rule of Sys::Syslog is:> | |
1293 | If this is your first use of Sys::Syslog, you must read the doc. | |

1310 | syslog('notice', 'fooprogram: this is really done'); | |
1311 | ||
a650b841 AT |
1312 | Example of use of C<%m>: |
1313 | ||

6e4ef777 SP |
1315 | syslog('info', 'problem was %m'); # %m == $! in syslog(3) |
1316 | ||
1317 | Log to UDP port on C<$remotehost> instead of logging locally: | |
5be1dfc7 | 1318 | |
f93f88eb | 1319 | setlogsock("udp", $remotehost); |
476b65d9 JH |
1320 | openlog($program, 'ndelay', 'user'); |

1534 | =head1 HISTORY |
1535 | ||
1536 | C<Sys::Syslog> is a core module, part of the standard Perl distribution | |
1537 | since 1990. At this time, modules as we know them didn't exist, the | |
1538 | Perl library was a collection of F<.pl> files, and the one for sending | |
1539 | syslog messages with was simply F<lib/syslog.pl>, included with Perl 3.0. | |
1540 | It was converted as a module with Perl 5.0, but had a version number | |
1541 | only starting with Perl 5.6. Here is a small table with the matching | |
1542 | Perl and C<Sys::Syslog> versions. | |

1702 | Using Google Code Search, I search who on Earth was relying on $host being | |
1703 | public. It found 5 hits: | |
1704 | ||
1705 | * First was inside Indigo Star Perl2exe documentation. Just an old version | |
1706 | of Sys::Syslog. | |
1707 | ||
1708 | ||
1709 | * One real hit was inside DalWeathDB, a weather related program. It simply | |
1710 | does a | |
1711 | ||
1712 | $Sys::Syslog::host = '127.0.0.1'; | |
1713 | ||
1714 | - L<http://www.gallistel.net/nparker/weather/code/> | |
1715 | ||
1716 | ||
1717 | * Two hits were in TPC, a fax server thingy. It does a | |
1718 | ||
1719 | $Sys::Syslog::host = $TPC::LOGHOST; | |
1720 | ||
1721 | but also has this strange piece of code: | |
1722 | ||
1723 | # work around perl5.003 bug | |
1724 | sub Sys::Syslog::hostname {} | |
1725 | ||
1726 | I don't know what bug the author referred to. | |
1727 | ||
1728 | - L<http://www.tpc.int/> | |
a650b841 AT |
1729 | - L<ftp://ftp-usa.tpc.int/pub/tpc/server/UNIX/> |
1730 | ||
1731 | ||
1732 | * Last hit was in Filefix, which seems to be a FIDOnet mail program (!). | |
1733 | This one does not use $host, but has the following piece of code: | |
1734 | ||
1735 | sub Sys::Syslog::hostname | |
1736 | { | |
1737 | use Sys::Hostname; | |
1738 | return hostname; | |
1739 | } | |
1740 | ||
1741 | I guess this was a more elaborate form of the previous bit, maybe because | |
1742 | of a bug in Sys::Syslog back then? | |
