[Twisted-Python] Syslog Listener UDP
Hi,
I would like to build a syslog(udp port 514) listener in twisted. The goal is to make it compatible with syslog and syslog-ng, which may be configured on a "client" to send log entries (as they occur) via udp (fire and forget) to a remote server (my twisted server).
Is there already something out there that would do this or that would be a good start?
Thanks,
Marc
Hi,
Is this going to be an open source project?
Best, Nicolas

Because of the simplicity of the syslog protocol, you can just use UDPServer with a protocol derived from DatagramProtocol. You just need to overload datagramReceived to do something sensible with the log line received.
In short:
class SyslogInput(protocol.DatagramProtocol):
def datagramReceived(self, data): print "I have received %r" % data
service = internet.UDPServer(514, SyslogInput())
I'm interested with this. any more progress? thanks HG

Sorry for the late response.
This has (obviously) been a background, "wouldn't it be cool" type project.
Once I got remote logging over udp working w/ two machines w/ syslog-ng, the tiwsted python part was easy: from twisted.internet.protocol import DatagramProtocol from twisted.internet import reactor
class Echo(DatagramProtocol):
def datagramReceived(self, data, (host, port)): print "received %r from %s:%d" % (data, host, port) self.transport.write(data, (host, port))
reactor.listenUDP(514, Echo()) reactor.run()
Part of my problem was that I was trying to use syslog on log-client and syslog-ng on log-server; not sure I (yet) know of any reason why this wouldn't work, but the point is, I got it working well enough to know that the twisted stuff is working as expected.
So with syslog-ng on log-clients, all sending to a central log server over udp, listening w/ twisted - the possibilities are endless!
Cheers,
Marc
