Hi,

I'm trying to work out how to fill in the TIdSysLogMessage from the client 
end.  Is the following correct as I don't seem to be able to get the 
Process, PID, and Msg Content to appear on the server?

Paul

------------------

    TIdSysLogMessage * sl = new TIdSysLogMessage(NULL);

    // default data set by class constructor
    sl->Hostname        = GetMyHost();
    sl->Msg->Process = GetName();
    sl->Msg->PID       = GetID();
    sl->Msg->PIDAvailable = true;

    // run time data
    sl->TimeStamp      = Now();
    sl->Msg->Content = msg->str;
    sl->Severity           = msg->severity;
    sl->Facility             = msg->facility;

    // sl->Pri;     // this is set by setting "Severity and Facility"
    // sl->Peer;    // this is....?
    // sl->Version; // is built in Indy (read only)

Are you calling the TIdSysLogMessage.SendToHost() method?

What values are you actually assigning to the Hostname, Process, PID, and
Content properties?

What value is returned by the TIdSysMessage.EncodeMessage() method?  That is
the same data that SendToHost() actually sends.

Hi,

Made a bit a mistake, I was trying to set the Hostname to the PC name, which 
isn't the same thing!  I was also having a problem passing the message 
string into my class method and it was getting lost/overwritten.

Client Code now looks like below, and seems to work ok.

By the way, the server side receives the data correctly, but the 
"PIDAvailable" seems to be false even though the "PID" has the correct data 
sent by the client.  What does PIDAvailable actually do; client and server 
end?  (just spotted your name in the change details in Indy10 source).

Thanks

Paul

That is because the TIdSysLogMsgPart.Text property does not do any parsing
when a new value is assigned to it.

I have just re-written TIdSysLogMessage to do more complete parsing.  I will
check in the new code sometime during the next few days.

> What does PIDAvailable actually do

On the client side, it is used to format the PID property when encoding data
for transmission.

On the server side, it does not do anything.
