A syslog client for .Net

1. Add the code to your project either as source code (SyslogClient.cs) or as a reference to supereasysyslog.dll
2. Initialize
3. Start logging.

USAGE:

First call the Init method

SyslogClient.Init( <hostname where client is running>, <application name>, <hostname of syslog server>, [<syslog server port>], [<minimum accepted severity level - set it to SyslogLevel.DEBUG for all messages>], [<facility>]);

Example: SyslogClient.Init("MolluscHeim", "Clash of Clams", "logs.mycloud.com", 514, SyslogSeverity.INFO, SyslogFacility.User);

If you try to send a message without calling Init first, an exception will be thrown.

OPTIONALLY:

Set up a repeated send for high severity messages (since we are sending in non-guaranteed udp)

SyslogClient.SetRepeat(<minimum severity level to repeat>,<number of repeats>)

Example: SyslogClient.SetRepeat(SyslogSeverity.CRITICAL,3);

NOW SEND MESSAGES!

SyslogClient.Send( <severity level> , <message>);

Examples:

SyslogClient.Send( SyslogSeverity.INFO, "Application started");

SyslogClient.Send( SyslogSeverity.WARNING, "Low memory!");

[NOTE: You can also use a string to set the message's severity level if you prefer like this:]

SyslogClient.Send( "DEBUG", "Request received: " + requestDetails);
