Hello everyone, I was taking a look at the different syslog output options, and I noticed that there are a variety of different sinks (character devices, CDCACM, RAM, etc). However, I was thinking that it would be useful to have a network sink for syslog, so that logs could be sent over a network interface and collected elsewhere. This might be useful for systems that have small amounts of physical storage but are network connected, or have a very long up-time.
What do you think about an implementation of syslog for network capable devices that achieves this? Are there any big hurdles I might not be considering (like setting up a connection, using UDP/TCP, etc)? There would probably have to be a decently large buffer to avoid slowing down code with blocking send calls. What do you think? -- Matteo Golin
