ship-syslog
Adaptation of andrewhodel's node-listen-udp-syslog. Written for OS X 10.10, because ALS still uses BSD-style syslog where time has no timezone component. Waaat?
It's basically a syslog UDP server for handling RFC5424 messages (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5424) over UDP (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5426). It parses the messages to JSON and forwards them to an arbitrary server, specified as a parameter or SHIP_SYSLOG_HOST environment variable
Running
app.js provides an example of how to include and configure the library, as well as process received UDP syslog messages.
node app.js
will listen on port 1514 and echo messages to the console
Still in progress
- attaching timezone to dates
