  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    LogFormat

    public class SyslogLogFormat
    extends AbstractRegexLogFormat
    Describes the format of a syslog log file. Currently only supports BSD syslog files conforming to RFC-3164. The format pattern specifies the year and timezone that should be used when parsing the log dates.

      • SyslogLogFormat

        public SyslogLogFormat​(String formatPattern)

    • Method Detail

      • getType

        public RecordTokenType getType()
        Description copied from interface: LogFormat
        Gets the record type associated with the format. Records produced by the associated parser or consumed by the associated formatter will be of this type.

        For many formats, this may be derived from a schema object describing the format layout.

        Returns:
        the format's record type
      • isSplittable

        public boolean isSplittable()
        Description copied from interface: LogFormat
        Indicates if the format supports parsing of subsections of a file.

        A format should only return true if it can, at least in some situations, support this sort of parsing. If a format requires reading the entire file, it must return false.

        If a format is not splittable, a file in the format cannot be parsed in parallel; however, individual files can still be parsed independently in parallel, as when reading the contents of a directory or using a file globbing pattern.

        Specified by:
        isSplittable in interface LogFormat
        Overrides:
        isSplittable in class AbstractRegexLogFormat
        Returns:
        true if the format supports parsing only a portion of the file, false otherwise
