Method Detail

getVersion

public static final String getVersion()

Returns:

Returns the current version identifier for Syslog4j.

setSuppressRuntimeExceptions

public static void setSuppressRuntimeExceptions(boolean suppress)

Parameters:

suppress - - true to suppress throwing SyslogRuntimeException in many methods of this class, false to throw exceptions (default)

getSuppressRuntimeExceptions

public static boolean getSuppressRuntimeExceptions()

Returns:

Returns whether or not to suppress throwing SyslogRuntimeException in many methods of this class.

getInstance

public static final SyslogIF getInstance(String protocol)
                                  throws SyslogRuntimeException

Use getInstance(protocol) as the starting point for Syslog4j.

Parameters:

protocol - - the Syslog protocol to use, e.g. "udp", "tcp", "unix_syslog", "unix_socket", or a custom protocol

Returns:

Returns an instance of SyslogIF.

Throws:

SyslogRuntimeException

createInstance

public static final SyslogIF createInstance(String protocol,
                      SyslogConfigIF config)
                                     throws SyslogRuntimeException

Use createInstance(protocol,config) to create your own Syslog instance.

First, create an implementation of SyslogConfigIF, such as UdpNetSyslogConfig.

Second, configure that configuration instance.

Third, call createInstance(protocol,config) using a short & simple String for the protocol argument.

Fourth, either use the returned instance of SyslogIF, or in later code call getInstance(protocol) with the protocol chosen in the previous step.

Parameters:

protocol -

config -

Returns:

Returns an instance of SyslogIF.

Throws:

SyslogRuntimeException

initialize

public static final void initialize()

initialize() sets up the default TCP and UDP Syslog protocols, as well as UNIX_SYSLOG and UNIX_SOCKET (if running on a Unix-based system).

exists

public static final boolean exists(String protocol)

Parameters:

protocol - - Syslog protocol

Returns:

Returns whether the protocol has been previously defined.

shutdown

public static final void shutdown()

shutdown() gracefully shuts down all defined Syslog protocols, which includes flushing all queues and connections and finally clearing all instances (including those initialized by default).

destroyInstance

public static final void destroyInstance(String protocol)
                                  throws SyslogRuntimeException

destroyInstance() gracefully shuts down the specified Syslog protocol and removes the instance from Syslog4j.

Parameters:

protocol - - the Syslog protocol to destroy

Throws:

SyslogRuntimeException

destroyInstance

public static final void destroyInstance(SyslogIF syslog)
                                  throws SyslogRuntimeException

destroyInstance() gracefully shuts down the specified Syslog instance and removes it from Syslog4j.

Parameters:

syslog - - the Syslog instance to destroy

Throws:

SyslogRuntimeException

main

public static void main(String[] args)
                 throws Exception

Throws:

Exception
