This package provides the Syslog target for the [yiisoft/log](https://github.com/yiisoft/log) library.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.0 or higher.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

The package could be installed with [Composer](https://getcomposer.org):

```
composer require yiisoft/log-target-syslog
```

General usage
-------------

[](#general-usage)

Creating a target:

```
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:

```
$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:

```
$logger = new \Yiisoft\Log\Logger([$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)

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

For a description of using the logger, see the [yiisoft/log](https://github.com/yiisoft/log) package.

- [Yii guide to logging](https://github.com/yiisoft/docs/blob/master/guide/en/runtime/logging.md)
