Extends logging.handlers.SysLogHandler to create a logging handler with SSL support.
I built this as a pretty trivial extension to the SysLogHandler as I wanted to use Python logging with TCP (to track delivery) to https://papertrailapp.com/, but they only support TCP w/ SSL enabled.
This is a pretty straightforward to use, sample usage is included w/ the module, but here we go:
import logging
import socket
from syslogssl import SSLSysLogHandler
host = 'logs.papertrailapp.com'
port = 514 # default, you'll want to change this to your port
address = (host, port)
# We don't want this to hang
socket.setdefaulttimeout(5.0)
logger = logging.getLogger()
logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
syslog = SSLSysLogHandler(address=address, certs='syslog.papertrail.crt')
logger.addHandler(syslog)
logger.info('testing SSLSysLogHandler')I've included the syslog.papertrail.crt for convenience, but you may want to double-check it for security. Note, if you don't include certs, the code will make an ssl.CERT_NONE connection, which works w/ papertrailapp.
