# syslog-wrapper

Boring name, boring tool:

1. Run a subprocess,

2. collect its standard output and standard error,

3. and forward those to an RFC 5425-compliant remote syslog host.

That means you can send a list of numbers directly to Papertrail with:

```bash

SYSLOG_HOSTNAME=pleasant-cornfield-5 cargo run logs2.papertrailapp.com:48001 -- seq 1 5

```

and they'll show up like this:

```

Sep 02 17:12:07 precarious-tuft-41 seq 1

Sep 02 17:12:07 precarious-tuft-41 seq 2

Sep 02 17:12:07 precarious-tuft-41 seq 3

Sep 02 17:12:07 precarious-tuft-41 seq 4

Sep 02 17:12:07 precarious-tuft-41 seq 5

```

In more practical usage, you might wrap a Docker process like so:

```bash

export SYSLOG_HOSTNAME=precarious-tuft-41

export SYSLOG_APPNAME=carriage-cobbler

export SYSLOG_SERVER=logs2.papertrailapp.com:48001

syslog-wrapper ./bin/cobble

```

## Recommended development environment

1. Install `rustup`

2. Add `rust-analyzer` extension to VS Code

## Run tests

`cargo test`

## Run for interactive testing

`SYSLOG_HOSTNAME=dingdong cargo run logs2.papertrailapp.com:48001 -- seq 1 5`
