When
LogSock is set to
tcp or
udp or
inet,
this optional parameter specifies the name or address of the syslog host.
Defaults to the local host. Special formatters are supported. For more
information, see
Section 3.3. Special formatters
Note
The
LogHost parameter is passed directly to Perl's
Sys::Syslog module which will likely do a DNS query for
each logged message. This can cause performance problems and high number
of DNS requests with verbose log levels. It is recommended to not set
LogSock and let the local syslog to do remote
logging.
Note
Sys::Syslog does not support IPv6.
To log over IPv6, leave LogSock unset and let the
local syslog do remote logging over IPv6.
# Log to a remote host via syslog over udp:
LogSock udp
LogHost your.syslog.host.com
