NAME

Parse::Syslog::Line - Simple syslog line parser

VERSION

version 0.8

SYNOPSIS

I wanted a very simple log parser for network based syslog input. Nothing existed that simply took a line and returned a hash ref all parsed out.

use Parse::Syslog::Line qw(parse_syslog_line);

my $href = parse_syslog_line( $msg );
#
# $href = {
#		preamble		=> '13',
#		priority		=> 'notice',
#		priority_int	=> 5,
#		facility		=> 'user',
#		facility_int	=> 8,
#		date			=> 'YYYY-MM-DD',
#		time			=> 'HH::MM:SS',
#		datetime_str	=> 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS',
#		datetime_obj	=> new DateTime(), # If installed
#		datetime_raw	=> 'Feb 17 11:12:13'
#		host_raw		=> 'hostname',  # Hostname as it appeared in the message
#		host		 	=> 'hostname',  # Hostname without domain
#		domain			=> 'blah.com',  # if provided
#		program_raw		=> 'sshd(blah)[pid]',
#		program_name	=> 'sshd',
#		program_sub		=> 'pam_unix',
#		program_pid		=> 20345,
#		content			=> 'the rest of the message'
#		message			=> 'program[pid]: the rest of the message',
#		message_raw		=> 'The message as it was passed',
# };
