NAME
Message::Passing::Input::Syslog - input messages from Syslog.
SYNOPSIS
message-pass --output STDOUT --input Syslog --input_options '{"hostname":"127.0.0.1","port":"5140"}'DESCRIPTION
Provides a syslogd server for either TCP or UDP syslog.
Can be used to ship syslog logs into a Message::Passing system.
ATTRIBUTES
hostname
The IP to bind the daemon to. By default, binds to 127.0.0.1, which means that the server can only be accessed from localhost. Use 0.0.0.0 to bind to all interfaces.
port
The port to bind to, defaults to 5140, as the default syslog port (514) is likely already taken by your regular syslogd, and needs root permission to bind to it.
protocol
The protocol to listen on, can be either tcp or udp, with udp being the default.
