hapi-syslog-plugin

Hapi plugin for routing logging statements from Hapi's built in logging system to syslog.

Usage

Just load the plugin and go!

server.register({
  register: require('hapi-syslog-plugin'),
  options: {
  }
})

To enable your linux system (debian or ubuntu) to receive TCP or UPD message edit /etc/rsyslog.conf

    sudo nano /etc/rsyslog.conf


    # provides UDP syslog reception
    #module(load="imudp")            <== uncomment for UDP
    #input(type="imudp" port="514")  <== uncomment for UDP

    # provides TCP syslog reception
    #module(load="imtcp")            <== uncomment for TCP
    #input(type="imtcp" port="514")  <== uncomment for TCP

Save changes (control-x). Now restart the rsyslog service:

    sudo service rsyslog restart

To view the syslog at runtime:

    sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog

Additionally... See examples directory for sample usage.
