RemoteHost Property

Sets a specific host for outgoing log packets.

Syntax

 syslog.getRemoteHost([callback])
 syslog.setRemoteHost( remoteHost, [callback])

Default Value

"255.255.255.255"

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getRemoteHost([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setRemoteHost([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

When a call is made to the SendPacket method, the class will send it to whatever value is in RemoteHost. The default value is the broadcast address, "255.255.255.255".
