This package provides the Syslog target for the [yiisoft/log](https://github.com/yiisoft/log) library.
## Requirements
- PHP 8.0 or higher.
## Installation
The package could be installed with [Composer](https://getcomposer.org):
```shell
composer require yiisoft/log-target-syslog
```
## General usage
Creating a target:
```php
use Yiisoft\Log\Target\Syslog\SyslogTarget;
$syslogTarget = new SyslogTarget($identity, $options, $facility, $levels);
```
- `$identity (string)` - The `openlog()` identity.
- `$options (int)` - The `openlog()` options. Defaults to `LOG_ODELAY | LOG_PID`.
- `$facility (int)` - The `openlog()` facility. Defaults to `LOG_USER`.
- `$levels (array)` - The log message levels that this target is interested in. Defaults to `[]` (all levels).
For example, to log only errors and warnings:
```php
$syslogTarget = new SyslogTarget(
'app',
LOG_ODELAY | LOG_PID,
LOG_USER,
[LogLevel::ERROR, LogLevel::WARNING]
);
```
For more information about `$identity`, `$options`, and `$facility`, see the description of the [`openlog()`](https://www.php.net/openlog) function.
Creating a logger:
```php
$logger = new \Yiisoft\Log\Logger([$syslogTarget]);
```
For use in the [Yii framework](https://www.yiiframework.com/), see the configuration files:
- [`config/di.php`](https://github.com/yiisoft/log-target-syslog/blob/master/config/di.php)
- [`config/params.php`](https://github.com/yiisoft/log-target-syslog/blob/master/config/params.php)
