SyslogServer
This sample launches a Syslog server.
The sample is a console utility that launches Syslog server on its default port (514) listening for UDP or TCP connections.
If a PFX file (and optionally its password) is specified, it also enables TLS connections on its default port (6514).
Usage
> SyslogServer
> SyslogServer "c:\data\server.pfx"
> SyslogServer "c:\data\server.pfx" "TopSecret"
C#
// create Syslog server instance
var server = new SyslogServer();
// bind desired endpoints
server.Bind(SyslogServer.DefaultPort, SyslogTransportProtocol.Udp);
server.Bind(SyslogServer.DefaultPort, SyslogTransportProtocol.Tcp);
// register an event handler for received messages
server.MessageReceived += (s, e) =>
{
// insert received message to a collection for further processing
Queue.Add(e.Message);
};
// register an event handler for errors
server.ErrorOccurred += (s, e) =>
{
Console.WriteLine("Error occurred ({0}): {1}", e.RemoteEndPoint, e.Error);
};
// start the server
server.Start();
The sample uses System.Collections.Concurrent.BlockingCollection (from .NET 4.0)
to safely process received messages in a background thread.
C#
private void ConsumeSyslogMessages()
{
// process received messages
foreach (var message in Queue.GetConsumingEnumerable())
{
Console.WriteLine("Received message: {0}", message.Text);
}
}
