Efficient and accurate syslog parser written in Golang. Tested rigorously with go-fuzz and being used to process over a billion syslog messages a day in production.

NewSyslogMsgFromBytes accepts a []byte containing an RFC3164 message and returns a SyslogMsg. If the original RFC3164 message is a CEE message, the JSON will be parsed into the JSONValues map[string]inferface{}.

b := []byte("<191>2006-01-02T15:04:05.999999-07:00 host.example.org test: engage\n")
msg, err := captainslog.NewSyslogMsgFromBytes(b)
if err != nil {
	panic(err)
}

We use the Collective Code Construction Contract for the development of captainslog. For details, see CONTRIBUTING.md.
