NAME

POE::Filter::Syslog - syslog parser

AUTHOR

Matt Cashner (sungo@cpan.org)

SYNOPSIS

my $filter = POE::Filter::Syslog->new();
$filter->get_one_start($buffer);
while( my $record = $filter->get_one() ) {

}

DESCRIPTION

This module follows the POE::Filter specification. Actually, it technically supports both the older specification (get) and the newer specification (get_one). If, at some point, POE deprecates the older specification, this module will drop support for it. As such, only use of the newer specification is recommended.

CONSTRUCTOR

METHODS

  • pri

  • facility

    The "facility" number decoded from the pri.

  • severity

    The "severity" number decoded from the pri.

  • host

    The host that sent the message.

  • msg
