6.29.5.7 SysLogHandler

The
<tt class=

remote or local
<span class=

Returns a new instance of the
<tt class=
"class">SysLogHandler
</tt> class intended to
communicate with a remote
<span class=
"Unix">Unix
</span> machine whose address is given by
<var>address
</var> in the form of a
<code>(
<var>host
</var>,
<var>port
</var>)
</code>
tuple. If
<var>address
</var> is not specified,
<code>('localhost',
514)
</code> is
used. The address is used to open a UDP socket. If
<var>facility
</var> is
not specified,
<tt class=
"constant">LOG_USER
</tt> is used.

The record is formatted, and then sent to the syslog server. If
exception information is present, it is
<em>not
</em> sent to the server.

Encodes the facility and priority into an integer. You can pass in strings
or integers - if strings are passed, internal mapping dictionaries are used
to convert them to integers.
