[![NuGet Version](https://img.shields.io/nuget/v/SyslogLogging.svg?style=flat)](https://www.nuget.org/packages/SyslogLogging/) [![NuGet](https://img.shields.io/nuget/dt/SyslogLogging.svg)](https://www.nuget.org/packages/SyslogLogging)

Simple C# class library for logging to syslog, console, and file, targeted to .NET Core, .NET Standard, and .NET Framework. For a sample app please refer to the included test project.

SyslogLogging is targeted to .NET Core, .NET Standard, and .NET Framework.

## Help or Feedback

First things first - do you need help or have feedback? File an issue here! We'd love to hear from you.

## New in v2.0.x

- Breaking changes including new constructors and minor API changes
- Support for multiple syslog servers
- Simplified class definitions

## It's Really Easy... I Mean, REALLY Easy

### Easiest Way Possible

Using the constructor with no parameters will cause the library to log to `127.0.0.1:514`.

```csharp
using SyslogLogging;
LoggingModule log = new LoggingModule();
log.Debug("Hello, world!");
```

### Single Syslog Server

```csharp
using SyslogLogging;

LoggingModule log = new LoggingModule("mysyslogserver", 514);
log.Debug("Hello, world!");
```

### Multiple Syslog Servers and Console

```csharp
using SyslogLogging;

List servers = new List
{
new SyslogServer("logginghost.com", 2000),
new SyslogServer("myhost.com", 514)
};

LoggingModule log = new LoggingModule(servers, true); // true to enable console
log.Warn("Look out!");
```

### Logging to File

```csharp
using SyslogLogging;

LoggingModule log = new LoggingModule("mylogfile.txt");
log.Info("Here's some new information!");
```

### Logging EVERYWHERE

```csharp
using SyslogLogging;

List servers = new List
{
new SyslogServer("127.0.0.1", 514)
};

LoggingModule log = new LoggingModule(servers, true); // true to enable console
log.Settings.FileLogging = FileLoggingMode.SingleLogFile;
log.Settings.LogFilename = "mylogfile.txt";
log.Alert("We're going everywhere!");
```

When using `FileLoggingMode.FileWithDate`, LoggingModule with append `.yyyyMMdd to the supplied filename in `LogFilename. When using `FileLoggingMode.SingleLogFile`, the filename is left untouched.

## Changing Console Message Color

Colors are disabled by default to ensure compatibility across different operating systems and environments.

If you wish to enable colors and change the colors used by the library, set `Settings.EnableColors` to `true` and modify the `Settings.Colors` property. A variable of type `ColorScheme` exists for each severity level. To disable colors, set `Settings.EnableColors` to false.

```csharp
log.Settings.EnableColors = true;
log.Settings.Colors.Debug = new ColorScheme(ConsoleColor.DarkGray, ConsoleColor.Black);
```

## Special Thanks
