NAME

POE::Component::Server::Syslog::UDP

SYNOPSIS

POE::Component::Server::Syslog::UDP->spawn(
    BindAddress => '127.0.0.1',
    BindPort    => '514',
    InputState  => \&input,
);

sub input {
    my $message = $_[ARG0];
    # .. do stuff ..
}

DESCRIPTION

This component provides very simple syslog services for POE.

METHODS

spawn()

Spawns a new listener. Requires one argument, InputState, which must be a reference to a subroutine. This argument will become a POE state that will be called when input from a syslog client has been recieved. Returns the POE::Session object it creates.

spawn() also accepts the following options:

  • BindAddress

    The address to bind the listener to. Defaults to 0.0.0.0

  • BindPort

    The port number to bind the listener to. Defaults to 514

  • MaxLen

    The maximum length of a datagram. Defaults to 1024, which is the usual default of most syslog and syslogd implementations.

  • ErrorState

    An optional code reference. This becomes a POE state that will get called when the component recieves a message it cannot parse. The erroneous message is passed in as ARG0.

InputState

The ClientInput routine obtained by spawn() will be passed a hash reference as ARG0 containing the following information:

  • time

    The time of the datagram (as specified by the datagram itself)

  • pri

    The priority of message.

  • facility

    The "facility" number decoded from the pri.

  • severity

    The "severity" number decoded from the pri.

  • host

    The host that sent the message.

  • msg

    The message itself. This often includes a process name, pid number, and user name.
