# 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)
}
}
```
### Different log levels for local and remote logging
By default `NewSyslogHook()` sends logs through the hook for all log levels. If you want to have
different log levels between local logging and syslog logging (i.e. respect the `priority` argument
passed to `NewSyslogHook()`), you need to implement the `logrus_syslog.SyslogHook` interface
overriding `Levels()` to return only the log levels you're interested on.
The following example shows how to log at **DEBUG** level for local logging and **WARN** level for
syslog logging:
```go
package main
import (
"log/syslog"
log "github.com/sirupsen/logrus"
logrus_syslog "github.com/sirupsen/logrus/hooks/syslog"
)
type customHook struct {
*logrus_syslog.SyslogHook
}
func (h *customHook) Levels() []log.Level {
return []log.Level{log.WarnLevel}
}
func main() {
log.SetLevel(log.DebugLevel)
hook, err := logrus_syslog.NewSyslogHook("tcp", "localhost:5140", syslog.LOG_WARNING, "myTag")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
log.AddHook(&customHook{hook})
//...
}
```
