go-syslog

This is a sample project where a client is used to send syslog messages to a syslog server. The objective is to explore the Go standard syslog library and the Docker syslog log driver.

The following is a list of syslog API that the client uses to send different message types to the server:

1. syslog.Alert
2. syslog.Crit
3. syslog.Debug
4. syslog.Emerg
5. syslog.Err
6. syslog.Info
7. syslog.Notice
8. syslog.Warning

Getting Started

To build and run the syslog server docker container:

$ docker build --rm -t isim/go-syslog .
$ docker run --rm -p 10154:10154 isim/go-syslog

To build and run the client Docker container:

$ docker build --rm -t isim/gosyslog-client .
$ docker run --rm isim/gosyslog-client

The log emitter script can be used to generate a continuous stream of logs that is sent to the syslog server using the Docker syslog log driver.

$ client/emit_logs.sh
