public class SyslogHandler
extends ExtHandler

A syslog handler for logging to syslogd.

This handler can write to syslog servers that accept the RFC3164 and RFC5424 formats. Writes can be done via TCP, SSL over TCP or UDP protocols. You can also override the output stream if a custom protocol is needed.

    record - the log record to publish

```
public void setBlockOnReconnect(boolean blockOnReconnect)
```

  - setHostname
```
public void setHostname(String hostname)
```
    Sets the host name which is used when sending the message to the syslog.
    This should be the name of the host sending the log messages, Note that the name cannot contain any whitespace.
    The hostname should be the most specific available value first. The order of preference for the contents of the hostname is as follows:
    1. FQDN
    2. Static IP address
    3. hostname
    4. Dynamic IP address
    5. null
    Parameters:
    hostname - the host name
  - isUseCountingFraming
```
public boolean isUseCountingFraming()
```
    Returns true if the message size should be prefixed to the message being sent.
    See http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6587 for more details on framing types.
    
    Returns:
    the message transfer type
  - setUseCountingFraming
```
public void setUseCountingFraming(boolean useCountingFraming)
```
    Set to true if the message being sent should be prefixed with the size of the message.
    See http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6587 for more details on framing types.
    
    Parameters:
    useCountingFraming - true if the message being sent should be prefixed with the size of the message
    
    Throws:
    
    SecurityException - if a security manager exists and if the caller does not have LoggingPermission(control) or the handler is protected
  - setServerHostname
```
public void setServerHostname(String hostname)
                       throws UnknownHostException
```
    Sets the server address the messages should be sent to.
    
    Parameters:
    hostname - the hostname used to created the connection
    
    Throws:
    
    UnknownHostException - if no IP address for the host could be found, or if a scope_id was specified for a global IPv6 address.
    
    SecurityException - if a security manager exists and if the caller does not have LoggingPermission(control) or the handler is protected

    InetAddress.getByName(String)
  - getServerAddress
```
public InetAddress getServerAddress()
```
    Returns the server address the messages are being sent to.
    
    Returns:
    the server address
  - setServerAddress
```
public void setServerAddress(InetAddress serverAddress)
```
    Sets the server address the messages should be sent to.
    
    Parameters:
    serverAddress - the server address
    
    Throws:
    
    SecurityException - if a security manager exists and if the caller does not have LoggingPermission(control) or the handler is protected
  - getSyslogType
```
public SyslogHandler.SyslogType getSyslogType()
```
    Returns the syslog type this handler is using to format the message sent.
    
    Returns:
    the syslog type
  - setSyslogType
```
public void setSyslogType(SyslogHandler.SyslogType syslogType)
```
    Set the syslog type this handler should use to format the message sent.
    
    Parameters:
    syslogType - the syslog type
    
    Throws:
    
    SecurityException - if a security manager exists and if the caller does not have LoggingPermission(control) or the handler is protected
  - getProtocol
```
public SyslogHandler.Protocol getProtocol()
```
    The protocol used to connect to the syslog server
    
    Returns:
    the protocol
  - setProtocol
```
public void setProtocol(SyslogHandler.Protocol type)
```
    Sets the protocol used to connect to the syslog server
    
    Parameters:
    type - the protocol
  - setOutputStream
```
public void setOutputStream(OutputStream out)
```
    Sets the output stream for the syslog handler to write to.
    Setting the output stream closes any already established connections or open output streams and will not open any new connections until the output stream is set to null. The protocol, #setServerAddress(java.net.InetAddress), server address, server hostname or port have no effect when the output stream is set.
    
    Parameters:
    out - the output stream to write to
  - isTruncate
```
public boolean isTruncate()
```
    Checks if the message should truncated if the total length exceeds the maximum length.
    
    Returns:
    true if the message should be truncated if too large, otherwise false
  - setTruncate
```
public void setTruncate(boolean truncate)
```
    Set to true if the message should be truncated if the total length the maximum length.
    Set to false if the message should be split and sent as multiple messages. The header will remain the same for each message sent. The wrapping is not a word based wrap and could split words between log messages.
    
    Parameters:
    truncate - true to truncate, otherwise false to send multiple messages
  - calculatePriority
```
protected int calculatePriority(Level level,
                    SyslogHandler.Facility facility)
```
  - createRFC5424Header
```
protected byte[] createRFC5424Header(ExtLogRecord record)
                              throws IOException
```
    Throws:
    
    IOException
  - createRFC3164Header
```
protected byte[] createRFC3164Header(ExtLogRecord record)
                              throws IOException
```
    Throws:
    
    IOException
