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.
