Logs to remote syslog server

[denny-cube]

First of all, thanks for this wonderful piece of (also well written) software!

It does all I need, and it does it well, so not much to ask more, except maybe... any plan to add the function to send logs to remote syslog server? ASF has pretty good an detailed log, I like to check it regularly, I would like the option to do it from within my usual syslogs collector.

Thanks again to all the developers!

ASF allows you to configure its logging system: https://github.com/JustArchiNET/ArchiSteamFarm/wiki/Logging

There is an NLog target for logging to syslog, including remote machines: https://github.com/luigiberrettini/NLog.Targets.Syslog

It should be enough to copy NLog.Targets.Syslog.dll from the nuget package into ASF directory, then configure NLog.config appropriately as described on ASF wiki and syslog target example. If that by any chance doesn't work, you could always write ASF plugin with that functionality, which is also described on the wiki: https://github.com/JustArchiNET/ArchiSteamFarm/wiki/Plugins

We don't plan to support syslog in ASF out of the box at the moment, mainly because it's very user-specific that he wants to use that mechanism, and that it's already possible at least in two different ways, as described above.

I will definitely have a look into that, I was not aware about that NLog functionality, but it seems it can actually do what I need.
Thanks for very prompt reply!

When copying in the .dll file @JustArchi mentioned, please be aware that ASF updating itself might delete the file again (which will require you to put it back after each update or disable auto-updates).
