forwarding slog logs to flowg syslog service

[adpande]

Hi,

We want to directly send logs from golang slog logger to flowg syslog service. We are using https://github.com/samber/slog-syslog for log adapter. We are not able to make it work.

package main

import (
	"log"
	"log/slog"
	"net"

	slogsyslog "github.com/samber/slog-syslog/v2"
)

func main() {
	writer, err := net.Dial("udp", "127.0.0.1:5514")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	logger := slog.New(slogsyslog.Option{Level: slog.LevelDebug, Writer: writer}.NewSyslogHandler())
	slog.SetDefault(logger)

	slog.Info("fdfdfdfdf", "sdsd", "sdsd")
}

Thank you for the report, I did manage to reproduce the issue on the current main branch, I opened a bug report and added it to the roadmap. We'll have a look as quickly as possible.

Thanks a lot!

It works well with simple log/syslog.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"
	"log/syslog"
)

func main() {
	sysLog, err := syslog.Dial("udp", "localhost:5514",
		syslog.LOG_WARNING|syslog.LOG_DAEMON, "demotag")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	fmt.Fprintf(sysLog, "This is a daemon warning with demotag.")
	sysLog.Emerg("And this is a daemon emergency with demotag.")
}

I'm closing the issue (and this discussion) as this is a problem with the slog-syslog library and not FlowG itself. A complete explanation can be found in the issue.
