W. Trevor King 72ac04e7ca vendor: Replace Sirupsen/logrus with sirupsen/logrus
With:

  $ git mv vendor/github.com/{S,s}irupsen
  $ sed -i 's/Sirupsen/sirupsen/g' $(git grep -l Sirupsen)

catching up with the upstream lowercasing [1,2,3,4].  Because of the
compatibility issues discussed in [3], some consumers may prefer to
use the old uppercase version until they have time to update their
other Logrus consumers to the new lowercase form.

Syslog Hooks for Logrus :walrus:

Usage

import (
  "log/syslog"
  "github.com/sirupsen/logrus"
  lSyslog "github.com/sirupsen/logrus/hooks/syslog"
)

func main() {
  log       := logrus.New()
  hook, err := lSyslog.NewSyslogHook("udp", "localhost:514", syslog.LOG_INFO, "")

  if err == nil {
    log.Hooks.Add(hook)
  }
}

If you want to connect to local syslog (Ex. "/dev/log" or "/var/run/syslog" or "/var/run/log"). Just assign empty string to the first two parameters of NewSyslogHook. It should look like the following.

import (
  "log/syslog"
  "github.com/sirupsen/logrus"
  lSyslog "github.com/sirupsen/logrus/hooks/syslog"
)

func main() {
  log       := logrus.New()
  hook, err := lSyslog.NewSyslogHook("", "", syslog.LOG_INFO, "")

  if err == nil {
    log.Hooks.Add(hook)
  }
}
