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
