Syslog facility for JBoss AS 7.1
Please note that JBoss EAP 6.1 contains a syslog module, which makes this addition obsolete.
Compile the jar file with maven: mvn package. If you need to support Java 6, change the compiler settings in the pom.
Unzip the archive created in the target/zip folder at $JBOSS_HOME/modules.
Modify the JBoss configuration in standalone/configuration/standalone.xml like this:
<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:logging:1.1">
...
<custom-handler name="SYSLOG" class="x1.jboss.syslog.SyslogHandler" module="x1.jboss-syslog">
<level name="INFO"/>
<properties>
<property name="loghost" value="localhost"/>
<property name="application" value="jboss-as7"/>
<property name="facility" value="daemon"/>
</properties>
</custom-handler>
...
<root-logger>
<level name="INFO"/>
<handlers>
<handler name="CONSOLE"/>
<handler name="FILE"/>
<handler name="SYSLOG"/>
</handlers>
</root-logger>
</subsystem>
Valid properties are:
- loghost: hostname or IP address of the log server (default: localhost)
- port: port of the log server (default: 514)
- protocol: udp (default) or tcp
- application: name of the application (default: java)
- facility: name of the syslog facility (default: daemon)
