It is also possible to log to syslog with log/syslog
like this:
package main
import (
"log"
"log/syslog"
)
func main() {
syslogger, err := syslog.New(syslog.LOG_INFO, "syslog_example")
if err != nil {
log.Fatalln(err)
}
log.SetOutput(syslogger)
log.Println("Log entry")
}
After running we will be able to see that line in syslog:
Jul 26 07:35:21 localhost syslog_example[18358]: 2016/07/26 07:35:21 Log entry
