A parser for BSD syslog protocol (RFC 3164) messages
Project description
A parser for BSD syslog protocol (RFC 3164) messages
This library was extracted from syslog2IRC.
Requirements
Python 2.7+ or 3.3+
enum34 (on Python versions before 3.4)
Installation
Install this package via pip:
$ pip install syslogmp
On Python versions before 3.4, the enum34 package should be installed automatically.
Usage
To parse a syslog message:
from syslogmp import parse
# Parse data (usually received via network).
message = parse(data)
# Let's see what we've got here.
print(message.facility)
print(message.facility.description)
print(message.severity)
print(message.timestamp)
print(message.hostname)
print(message.message)
Further Reading
For more information, see RFC 3164, “The BSD syslog Protocol”.
Please note that there is RFC 5424, “The Syslog Protocol”, which obsoletes RFC 3164. This package, however, only implements the latter.
