SysLog Module
Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors
The Syslog module is used to send and receive network system log packets.
Syntax
IPWorks.SysLog
Remarks
The Syslog class implements a lightweight BSD syslog client as specified in RFC 3164 (User Datagram Protocol [UDP]), RFC 5425 (Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security [SSL/TLS]), and RFC 6587 (Transmission Control Protocol [TCP]). The class is used to send and receive BSD system network logging packets.
The first step in using the Syslog class is to set LocalHost and LocalPort to the interface and port on which the host will be receiving syslog packets, and then call the Activate method. For each packet, the class will parse the headers and message and fire a PacketIn event.

Active Property (SysLog Module)
This property indicates whether the module is active.
Syntax
public var active: Bool { get {...} }
@property (nonatomic,readonly,assign,getter=active) BOOL active; - (BOOL)active;
Default Value
False
Remarks
This property indicates whether the class is currently active and can send or receive data. Use the Activate and Deactivate methods to control whether the class is active.
This property is read-only.
LocalHost Property (SysLog Module)
The name of the local host or user-assigned IP interface through which connections are initiated or accepted.
Syntax
public var localHost: String { get {...} set {...} }
@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=localHost,setter=setLocalHost:) NSString* localHost; - (NSString*)localHost; - (void)setLocalHost :(NSString*)newLocalHost;
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property contains the name of the local host as obtained by the gethostname() system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.
In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the IP address of an interface will make the class initiate connections (or accept in the case of server classs) only through that interface. It is recommended to provide an IP address rather than a hostname when setting this property to ensure the desired interface is used.
If the class is connected, the LocalHost property shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).
Note: LocalHost is not persistent. You must always set it in code, and never in the property window.
LocalPort Property (SysLog Module)
This property indicates the port in the local host where Syslog binds.
Syntax
public var localPort: Int32 { get {...} set {...} }
@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=localPort,setter=setLocalPort:) int localPort; - (int)localPort; - (void)setLocalPort :(int)newLocalPort;
Default Value
514
Remarks
The LocalPort property must be set before Syslog is activated. It instructs the class to bind to a specific port (or communication endpoint) in the local machine.
Setting it to 0 enables the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP stack to choose a port at random. The chosen port will be shown by the LocalPort property after the connection is established.
LocalPort cannot be changed once the class is Active. Any attempt to set the LocalPort property when the class is Active will generate an error.
The LocalPort property is useful when trying to connect to services that require a trusted port in the client side.
RemoteHost Property (SysLog Module)
This property sets a specific host for outgoing log packets.
Syntax
public var remoteHost: String { get {...} set {...} }
@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=remoteHost,setter=setRemoteHost:) NSString* remoteHost; - (NSString*)remoteHost; - (void)setRemoteHost :(NSString*)newRemoteHost;
Default Value
"255.255.255.255"
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".
RemotePort Property (SysLog Module)
This property sets a specific port for outgoing log packets.
Syntax
public var remotePort: Int32 { get {...} set {...} }
@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=remotePort,setter=setRemotePort:) int remotePort; - (int)remotePort; - (void)setRemotePort :(int)newRemotePort;
Default Value
514
Remarks
When a call is made to the SendPacket method, the class will send to RemoteHost on RemotePort. The default value is 514, the standard port as defined in the BSD syslog RFC 3164.
SSLAcceptServerCert Property (SysLog Module)
Instructs the module to unconditionally accept the server certificate that matches the supplied certificate.
Syntax

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=SSLAcceptServerCertStoreB,setter=setSSLAcceptServerCertStoreB:) NSData* SSLAcceptServerCertStoreB; - (NSData*)SSLAcceptServerCertStoreB; - (void)setSSLAcceptServerCertStoreB :(NSData*)newSSLAcceptServerCertStore; @property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=SSLAcceptServerCertStorePassword,setter=setSSLAcceptServerCertStorePassword:) NSString* SSLAcceptServerCertStorePassword; - (NSString*)SSLAcceptServerCertStorePassword; - (void)setSSLAcceptServerCertStorePassword :(NSString*)newSSLAcceptServerCertStorePassword; @property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=SSLAcceptServerCertStoreType,setter=setSSLAcceptServerCertStoreType:) int SSLAcceptServerCertStoreType; - (int)SSLAcceptServerCertStoreType; - (void)setSSLAcceptServerCertStoreType :(int)newSSLAcceptServerCertStoreType; @property (nonatomic,readonly,assign,getter=SSLAcceptServerCertSubjectAltNames) NSString* SSLAcceptServerCertSubjectAltNames;

- (NSData*)SSLAcceptServerCertEncodedB; - (void)setSSLAcceptServerCertEncodedB :(NSData*)newSSLAcceptServerCertEncoded;
Default Value
False
Remarks
If it finds any issues with the certificate presented by the server, the class will normally terminate the connection with an error.
You may override this behavior by supplying a value for SSLAcceptServerCert. If the certificate supplied in SSLAcceptServerCert is the same as the certificate presented by the server, then the server certificate is accepted unconditionally, and the connection will continue normally.
Note: This functionality is provided only for cases in which you otherwise know that you are communicating with the right server. If used improperly, this property may create a security breach. Use it at your own risk.
SSLAuthenticateClients Property (SysLog Module)
If set to True, the server asks the client(s) for a certificate.
Syntax
public var sslAuthenticateClients: Bool { get {...} set {...} }
@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=SSLAuthenticateClients,setter=setSSLAuthenticateClients:) BOOL SSLAuthenticateClients; - (BOOL)SSLAuthenticateClients; - (void)setSSLAuthenticateClients :(BOOL)newSSLAuthenticateClients;
Default Value
False
Remarks
This property is used in conjunction with the SSLClientAuthentication event. Please refer to the documentation of the SSLClientAuthentication event for details.
SSLCert Property (SysLog Module)

Default Value
False
Remarks
This property contains the server certificate for the last established connection.
SSLServerCert is reset every time a new connection is attempted.
UseTCP Property (SysLog Module)
This property specifies whether Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is used.
Syntax
public var useTCP: Bool { get {...} set {...} }
@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=useTCP,setter=setUseTCP:) BOOL useTCP; - (BOOL)useTCP; - (void)setUseTCP :(BOOL)newUseTCP;
Default Value
False
Remarks
This property specifies whether TCP is used. By default, this property is False and UDP is used. When set to True, TCP will be used as the underlying protocol.
When set to True, the following additional settings are also applicable:
Activate Method (SysLog Module)
This method enables sending and receiving of data.
Syntax
public func activate() throws -> Void
- (void)activate;
Remarks
This method enables sending and receiving of data. When called, the class will create a communication endpoint (socket) that can be used for sending and receiving User Datagram Protocol (UDP) messages. This method must be called before using the class to send and receive data.
If the UseConnection configuration setting is set to , then a local association (connection) to the remote host is also created.
Config Method (SysLog Module)
Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.
Syntax
- (NSString*)config:(NSString*)configurationString;
Remarks
Config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the class.
These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.
To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).
To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.
Deactivate Method (SysLog Module)
This method disables sending and receive of data.
Syntax
public func deactivate() throws -> Void
- (void)deactivate;
Remarks
This method disables sending and receiving of data. When called, the class will destroy the existing socket and disable data communications.
DoEvents Method (SysLog Module)
This method processes events from the internal message queue.
Syntax
public func doEvents() throws -> Void
- (void)doEvents;
Remarks
When DoEvents is called, the class processes any available events. If no events are available, it waits for a preset period of time, and then returns.
Reset Method (SysLog Module)
This method will reset the component.
Syntax
public func reset() throws -> Void
- (void)reset;
Remarks
This method will reset the class's properties to their default values.
ResolveRemoteHost Method (SysLog Module)
This method resolves the hostname in RemoteHost to an IP address.
Syntax
public func resolveRemoteHost() throws -> Void
- (void)resolveRemoteHost;
Remarks
This method resolves the hostname specified by RemoteHost to an IP address. The resolved value is available in the RemoteHost property after this method returns.
In most cases, calling this method is not necessary; the class will resolve the hostname automatically when needed. If DelayHostResolution is , this method may be called to manually resolve RemoteHost, if desired.
SendPacket Method (SysLog Module)
This method sends a log packet to RemoteHost .
Syntax
- (void)sendPacket:(int)facility :(int)severity :(NSString*)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 |

Connected Event (SysLog Module)
This event is fired immediately after a connection completes (or fails).
Syntax
- (void)onConnected:(NSString*)remoteAddress :(int)remotePort :(int)statusCode :(NSString*)description;
Remarks
This event fires after a connection completes or fails.
StatusCode is the value returned by the system Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP stack. This will be 0 if the connection was successful.
Description contains a human readable description of the status. This will be OK if the connection was successful.
RemoteAddress is the IP address of the remote host.
RemotePort is the port on the remote host.
ConnectionStatus Event (SysLog Module)
This event is fired to indicate changes in a connection state.
Syntax
- (void)onConnectionStatus:(NSString*)connectionEvent :(int)statusCode :(NSString*)description;
Remarks
The ConnectionStatus event is fired when the connection state changes: for example, upon completion of a firewall or proxy connection or completion of a security handshake.
The ConnectionEvent parameter indicates the type of connection event. Values may include the following:
Firewall connection complete. | |
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or S/Shell handshake complete (where applicable). | |
Remote host connection complete. | |
Remote host disconnected. | |
SSL or S/Shell connection broken. | |
Firewall host disconnected. |
Disconnected Event (SysLog Module)
This event is fired when a connection is closed.
Syntax
func onDisconnected(remoteAddress: String, remotePort: Int32, statusCode: Int32, description: String)
- (void)onDisconnected:(NSString*)remoteAddress :(int)remotePort :(int)statusCode :(NSString*)description;
Remarks
This event fires when a connection is closed.
StatusCode is the value returned by the system Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP stack. This will be 0 if the connection was successful.
Description contains a human readable description of the status. This will be OK if the connection was successful.
RemoteAddress is the IP address of the remote host.
RemotePort is the port on the remote host.
Error Event (SysLog Module)
Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.
Syntax
- (void)onError:(int)errorCode :(NSString*)description;
Remarks
The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the class .
The ErrorCode parameter contains an error code, and the Description parameter contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.
PacketIn Event (SysLog Module)
This event fires whenever a system log packet is received.
Syntax
func onPacketIn(facilityCode: Int32, facility: String, severityCode: Int32, severity: String, timestamp: String, hostname: String, message: String, conforms: Bool, packet: Data, sourceAddress: String, sourcePort: Int32)
- (void)onPacketIn:(int)facilityCode :(NSString*)facility :(int)severityCode :(NSString*)severity :(NSString*)timestamp :(NSString*)hostname :(NSString*)message :(BOOL)conforms :(NSData*)packet :(NSString*)sourceAddress :(int)sourcePort;
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 FacilityCode and SeverityCode of the Message. FacilityCode is a value from 0 to 23, with each value being a different part of the system. Facility is a string representation of FacilityCode based on the following convention:
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 |

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 second section contains the Timestamp and Hostname. Timestamp is a string that should conform to the standard structure "MMM DD, HH:MM:SS". The class will search for the Timestamp and verify that it conforms. If it conforms, the class will set Hostname, otherwise, everything after the PRI will be placed in Message.
If Conforms is True, then the original syslog packet conforms to the syslog RFC and Timestamp, Hostname, and Message will all have valid values. Otherwise, you should parse the contents of Packet to verify the fields manually.
SourceAddress and SourcePort are the address and port from which Packet was sent. This can be an intermediate syslog server that is simply forwarding packets from the original host.
SSLClientAuthentication Event (SysLog Module)
This is event fired when the client presents its credentials to the server.

- (void)onSSLClientAuthentication:(NSString*)remoteAddress :(int)remotePort :(NSData*)certEncoded :(NSString*)certSubject :(NSString*)certIssuer :(NSString*)status :(int*)accept;
Remarks
This event fires when a client connects to the class and presents a certificate for authentication. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether or not to continue.
When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string "OK").
RemoteAddress is the IP address of the connecting client.
RemotePort is the source port of the connecting client.
CertEncoded is the base64-encoded certificate presented by the client.
CertSubject is the subject of the certificate presented by the client.

This event fires when connecting to the server.
Syntax
func onSSLServerAuthentication(remoteAddress: String, remotePort: Int32, certEncoded: Data, certSubject: String, certIssuer: String, status: String, accept: inout Bool)
- (void)onSSLServerAuthentication:(NSString*)remoteAddress :(int)remotePort :(NSData*)certEncoded :(NSString*)certSubject :(NSString*)certIssuer :(NSString*)status :(int*)accept;
Remarks
During this event, the client can decide whether or not to continue with the connection process. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether or not to continue.
When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string OK). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the Accept parameter to True.
RemoteAddress is the IP address of the server.
RemotePort is the source port of the server.
CertEncoded is the base64-encoded certificate presented by the server.

UDP Config Settings
The default value for this setting is False.
Note: This configuration setting is available only in Windows.
The default value is .
Note: This configuration setting is available only in Windows.
In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface), setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the class initiate connections (or accept in the case of server classs) only through that interface.
If the class is connected, the LocalHost setting shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).
Setting this to 0 (default) enables the system to choose a port at random. The chosen port will be shown by LocalPort after the connection is established.
LocalPort cannot be changed once a connection is made. Any attempt to set this when a connection is active will generate an error.
This configuration setting is useful when trying to connect to services that require a trusted port on the client side. An example is the remote shell (rsh) service in UNIX systems.
Note: This configuration setting uses the qWAVE API and is available only on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, and later.
Note: This configuration setting uses the qWAVE API and is available only on Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 or above.
Note: QOSTrafficType must be set before setting Active to True.
The default value for this setting is False.
The default value for this setting is False.
Socket Config Settings
