Generic SetFormat

[greenpau]

Is it possible to set generic format? as opposed to being specific.

    server.SetFormat(syslog.RFC3164)
    //server.SetFormat(syslog.RFC5424)
    //server.SetFormat(syslog.RFC6587)

Code:

import (
    //"fmt"
    "github.com/davecgh/go-spew/spew"
    syslog "github.com/mcuadros/go-syslog"
)

func startSyslogReceiver(r *Receiver, ctx *mgmtContext) {
    channel := make(syslog.LogPartsChannel)
    handler := syslog.NewChannelHandler(channel)

    server := syslog.NewServer()
    server.SetFormat(syslog.RFC5424)
    server.SetHandler(handler)
    server.ListenUDP("0.0.0.0:10514")
    server.Boot()

    go func(channel syslog.LogPartsChannel, ctx *mgmtContext) {
        for logParts := range channel {
            spew.Dump(logParts)
            m := Message{}
            // send the message to shared message bus
            ctx.MessageBus[1] <- m
        }
    }(channel, ctx)

    server.Wait()
}

Sending a message:

logger --server 127.0.0.1 --udp --port 10514 -p 6 -- test UDP syslog from console `date`

Received:

(format.LogParts) (len=13) {
 (string) (len=7) "message": (string) "",
 (string) (len=6) "client": (string) (len=15) "127.0.0.1:40626",

The logger command send messages in RFC3164. Therefore, that format needs to be set.

    server.SetFormat(syslog.RFC3164)
    //server.SetFormat(syslog.RFC5424)
    //server.SetFormat(syslog.RFC6587)
