Herald.Sinks.Syslog

Emits Herald log events as RFC 5424 or RFC 3164 syslog messages over UDP or TCP. Drop-in for Serilog.Sinks.SyslogMessages. Cross-platform — works on Windows, Linux, and macOS. Typical targets: rsyslog, syslog-ng, Graylog, Logstash, Fluentd with a syslog input.

Part of Herald — high-performance structured logging for .NET 8, 9, and 10.

Install

dotnet add package Herald.Sinks.Syslog

The sink auto-registers into LogSinkProviderRegistry.Default via a [ModuleInitializer] on assembly load. No manual RegisterAll(...) or With*SinkProviders() call is required — dotnet add package is the whole workflow.

Sink kind: syslog (the identifier the Dashboard form and JSON config use to reference this sink).

Capabilities

  • RFC 5424 and RFC 3164 wire formats
  • UDP and TCP transports (TCP framing via RFC 6587 octet counting)
  • Facility selector covering all 24 RFC 5424 slots
  • Cross-platform — no native deps, pure BCL sockets
  • Reconnect-on-failure for TCP with single retry per event

Limitations

  • No TLS transport in 1.0 — follow-up planned
  • Structured-data field (RFC 5424) currently emitted as NILVALUE
  • Synchronous Send — pair with async decorator for high volume
  • No message batching on TCP — one frame per event

Tier & runtime

  • Edition: Community — works on the free Apache 2.0 Herald.Core. No license key required.
  • AOT-compatible: yes
  • Targets: .NET 8 / 9 / 10
  • Thread safety: Thread-safe. UDP writes are stateless on the client side; TCP writes serialize through a per-sink lock so frames don't interleave.

Configuration

Per-sink config form lives in configuration*.mmpform at the package root and inside the assembly as an embedded resource. The Herald Dashboard renders it at runtime; JSON config follows the same shape. See CAPABILITY.yaml shipped at the package root for the full manifest (schema reference: CAPABILITY-SCHEMA.md).
