udp_reporter ~hostname remote_ip ~port ~truncate () is reporter, which sends syslog message using the given hostname to remote_ip, remote_port via UDP. Each message is truncated to truncate bytes (defaults to 65535). The hostname default to Lwt_unix.gethostname (), port defaults to 514. facility is the default syslog facility (see Logs_syslog.message).

tcp_reporter ~hostname remote_ip ~port ~truncate ~framing () is Ok reporter or Error msg. The reporter sends each log message to remote_ip, port via TCP. If the initial TCP connection to the remote_ip fails, an Error msg is returned instead. If the TCP connection fails, the log message is reported to standard error, and attempts are made to re-establish the TCP connection. Each syslog message is truncated to truncate bytes (defaults to 0, thus no truncation). Each syslog message is framed (using framing), the default strategy is to append a single byte containing 0. The hostname default to Lwt_unix.gethostname (), port to 514. facility is the default syslog facility (see Logs_syslog.message).

unix_reporter ~socket ~truncate ~framing () is Ok reporter or Error msg. The reporter sends each log message via syslog to socket (which defaults to "/dev/log"). If the initial connection to the socket fails, the log message is reported to standard error, and attempts are made to re-establish the connection. A syslog message is truncated to truncate bytes and is framed according to the given framing. The default for truncate is 65536 if framing is not provided and 0 otherwise. If framing is not provided, then the socket used is a datagram socket (as for udp_reporter) otherwise a stream socket is used (as for tcp_reporter). facility is the default syslog facility (see Logs_syslog.message).
