[Twisted-Python] Syslog Listener UDP

[Marc Byrd]

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
