# Node-Syslog

Node-Syslog is no more supported and do not work with current Node version.

You can use other modules like: https://github.com/strongloop/modern-syslog or https://github.com/strongloop/modern-syslog

v1.2.0

This is a node module (add-on) to work with syslog (system log) daemon on unix systems.

This module has been tested with:

* node.js v0.8.16

* version v0.9.3

* metalog

* syslog-ng 3.1.1

Read the [setMask wiki page](https://github.com/schamane/node-syslog/wiki/setMask) for using the `setMask` functionality.

The current version is compatible to node 0.8.x and higher. For older node.js versions, please use node-syslog v1.0.3

Node-syslog does not officially support Darwin OS and MS Windows but should work fine.
