I'd like to use logstash-logger but need to be able to send the JSON logs to the local syslogd (which then forwards to a remote logstash and does local disk-assisted queuing if the remote logstash is down).

Makes sense. Do you want to try to tackle this?

For reference, here's the implementation of the Ruby 2.0+ Syslog::Logger.

We wouldn't be able to use this class because LogStash::Logger still supports Ruby 1.9. But we can be inspired by it!

Support for logging to syslog
cb01341 
This uses `Syslog::Logger`, which is built into the Ruby 2+ standard library, and available as a separate gem in Ruby 1.9. Note that this is a separate logger rather than a device.

Fixes #50
