Syslogger
A Ruby logger that sends messages to syslog instead of files, with configurable facilities and options.
What is Syslogger?
Syslogger is a Ruby gem that provides a logger implementation which sends log messages to the system syslog daemon instead of writing to files. It solves the problem of decentralized logging by enabling Ruby applications to integrate directly with syslog for centralized log management and monitoring.
Ruby developers and DevOps engineers who need to send application logs to syslog for centralized collection, especially in server environments or when using monitoring tools that consume syslog.
Developers choose Syslogger because it's a simple, drop-in replacement for Ruby's standard Logger with added syslog-specific features like configurable facilities and options, avoiding the need to rewrite logging code.
