Srslog hook for Logrus

Srslog Hooks for Logrus

Near drop-in replacement for the logrus_syslog hook to utilize sysrlog instead of built-in log/syslog.

Why?

1. log/syslog does not compile for most operating systems (i.e. Windows)
2. sysrlog support TCP+TLS (but not client-certificate)
3. No need for complexity to just deliver log entries

Usage

import (
    syslog "github.com/RackSec/srslog"
    "github.com/sirupsen/logrus"
    logrus_srslog "github.com/grutz/logrus_srslog"
)

func main() {
    log       := logrus.New()
    hook, err := logrus_srslog.NewSrslogHook("udp", "localhost:514", syslog.LOG_INFO, "", "")

    if err == nil {
        log.Hooks.Add(hook)
    }
}

When using TCP+TLS, include the certificate file:

import (
    syslog "github.com/RackSec/srslog"
    "github.com/sirupsen/logrus"
    logrus_srslog "github.com/grutz/logrus_srslog"
)

func main() {
    log       := logrus.New()
    hook, err := logrus_srslog.NewSrslogHook("tcp+tls", "localhost:1999", syslog.LOG_INFO, "", "certificate.pem")

    if err == nil {
        log.Hooks.Add(hook)
    }
}
