ESP32 ESP-IDF and ESP8266 RTOS SDK component for Syslog server UDP client

Tested on

1. ESP8266 RTOS_SDK v3.4
2. ESP32 ESP-IDF v5.2

Using

In an existing project, run the following command to install the component:

cd ../your_project/components
git clone https://github.com/aZholtikov/zh_syslog.git

In the application, add the component:

#include "zh_syslog.h"

Example

Sending messages:

#include "nvs_flash.h"
#include "esp_netif.h"
#include "esp_wifi.h"
#include "esp_timer.h"
#include "esp_event.h"
#include "freertos/FreeRTOS.h"
#include "freertos/event_groups.h"
#include "zh_syslog.h"

#define WIFI_SSID "ssid"
#define WIFI_PASS "password"
#define WIFI_MAXIMUM_RETRY 5
#define WIFI_RECONNECT_TIME 5
#define WIFI_CONNECT_SUCCESS BIT0

#define SYSLOG_IP "192.168.1.2"
