Socket appender
This appender can be used to send log requests through a socket. Socket appender relies on LuaSocket to do its job.Upon each log request a connection is opened, the message is sent and the connection is closed.
function logging.socket { hostname = string, port = number, [logPattern = string,] [timestampPattern = string], }
hostname
:
Hostname can be an IP address or a host name of the server where the log message will be sent.port
:
The port must be an integer number in the range [1..64K).logPattern
:
A pattern can be specified to control how the message is written.
The default value is"%date %level %message\n"
.timestampPattern
:
This is an optional parameter that can be used to specify a date pattern that will be passed to theos.date
function to create the timestamp for the log message.
Example
require"logging.socket" local logger = logging.socket { hostname = "localhost", port = 5000, } logger:info("logging.socket test") logger:debug("debugging...") logger:error("error!")
