Node-Syslog

v1.2.0

This is a node module (add-on) to work with syslog (system log) daemon on unix systems. This module has been tested with:

  • node.js v0.8.16
  • version v0.9.3
  • metalog
  • syslog-ng 3.1.1

Read the setMask wiki page for using the setMask functionality.

The current version is compatible to node 0.8.x and higher. For older node.js versions, please use node-syslog v1.0.3

Node-syslog does not officially support Darwin OS and MS Windows but should work fine.
