SendPacket Method

Send a log packet to RemoteHost .

Syntax

[VB.NET]
Public Sub SendPacket(ByVal Facility As Integer, ByVal Severity As Integer, ByVal Message As String)

[C#]
public void SendPacket(int facility, int severity, string message);

Remarks

System log packets are composed of three main sections, each of which can be broken down into two smaller pieces.

The first section is the PRI, which contains the originating Facility and Severity of the Message. Facility is a value from 0 to 23, with each value being a different part of the system:

0	Kernel messages
1	User-level messages
2	Mail system
3	System daemons
4	Security/authorization messages
5	Messages generated internally by syslogd
6	Line printer subsystem
7	Network news subsystem
8	UUCP subsystem
9	Clock daemon
10	Security/authorization messages
11	FTP daemon
12	NTP subsystem
13	Log audit
14	Log alert
15	Clock daemon
16	Local use
17	Local use
18	Local use
19	Local use
20	Local use
21	Local use
22	Local use
23	Local use

Severity is a value from 0 to 7 using the following convention:

0	Emergency - the system is unusable
1	Alert - action must be taken immediately
2	Critical - critical conditions exist
3	Error - error conditions exist
4	Warning - warning conditions exist
5	Notice - normal but significant condition
6	Informational - informative message
7	Debug - debug-level messages

The section sections contains a timestamp and hostname, both of which are automatically generated by the component. The third section is the Message itself.

NOTE: This method has a corresponding asynchronous version (SendPacketAsync) for use in the WinRT environment.
