Usage of syslog

[ghost]

Hi all

Starting with Chia version 1.2.0 you'll be able to send the logs to a syslog server.
I plan to use it to be alerted in case the farmer runs into severe issues.

Enable syslog

Edit ~/.chia/mainnet/config.yaml
Set farmer.logging.log_syslog to true
Optionally change farmer.logging.log_syslog_host (default: localhost) and farmer.logging.log_syslog_port (default: 514)

farmer:
  full_node_peer:
    host: localhost
    port: 8444
  harvester_peer:
    host: localhost
    port: 8448
  logging: &id001
    log_filename: log/debug.log
    log_level: INFO
    log_maxfilesrotation: 7
    log_stdout: false
    log_syslog: true
    log_syslog_host: syslog.local
    log_syslog_port: 5144
