I'm a newbie to the Syslog concept and I'm trying to get the big picture of it. I'm working in a C#-project where audit logging is going to be used. I've got WinSyslog locally on my computer and it works fine. But I've some thoughts about it.

Does the WinSyslog Daemon support RFC 3195 Cooked flavour?

Can anyone explain, very short, how to implement reliable syslog on the client-side of an application? Or, is it more common to use a third party product to solve this?

At the moment I use a code snippet that sends the audit records to the Syslog Daemon by UDP. Now I wonder if it is worth the effort to try to create such a client (in C#) that supports reliable syslogging? I doubt it, because the more I've read about syslog and reliable syslog, the more I understand the complexity and size of the area of syslogging.

Puh... any advice and information would be helpful.

Thank you, Joshua

Hi,

we have another project called liblogging (Open Source) which can be used in ClientSide Apps to send RFC 3195 Syslog messages, cooked should also be possible.

We have a wrapper for csharp for this lib, please send an email to support@adiscon.com so that someone from development can contact you for further informations.

best regards,

So please send us your email address and I will send you the Wrapper.

Hi Andre!

I'm sorry for the delay. Of course I'm interested in the wrapper for the .NET framework. I'll send my email address to the support@adiscon.com right away.

Thank you, Joshua
