Syslog integration about oklog HOT 5 CLOSED

All the OK Log ingest endpoints care about is receiving newline-delimited records. Correct me if I'm wrong, but syslog already meets this contract. If that's true, anything which emits syslog should already be fully compatible with OK Log.

So also Syslog supports structured logging via Json, your probably aware as your other framework does it https://github.com/go-kit/kit/blob/master/log/json_logger.go . I couldn't find anything about OKLog supporting structured logs?

OK Log treats log records as opaque byte-slices. The query interface is grep. You're free to send structured logs, unstructured logs, or anything you want into it, as long as each record is newline-delimited.

We had a rousing discussion on Twitter, from that I've updated the README with some details about querying structured logs, anything more than that is not on a concrete roadmap, though I'm curious about what log parsing "plugins" might look like at the query or storage layer...

From this code: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/marcelom/4218010/raw/53b643bd056d03ffc21abcfe2e1b9f6a7de005f0/pysyslog.py

## Tiny Syslog Server in Python.
##
## This is a tiny syslog server that is able to receive UDP based syslog
## entries on a specified port and save them to a file.
## That's it... it does nothing else...
## There are a few configuration parameters.

HOST, PORT = "0.0.0.0", 514

import SocketServer
import sys


class SyslogUDPHandler(SocketServer.BaseRequestHandler):

        def handle(self):
                data = bytes.decode(self.request[0].strip())
                socket = self.request[1]
                print( "%s : " % self.client_address[0], str(data))
                sys.stdout.flush()

if __name__ == "__main__":
        try:
                server = SocketServer.UDPServer((HOST,PORT), SyslogUDPHandler)
                server.serve_forever(poll_interval=0.5)
        except (IOError, SystemExit):
                raise
        except KeyboardInterrupt:
                print ("Crtl+C Pressed. Shutting down.")

Then run : python2 ./pysyslog.py | oklog forward localhost
