The `syslog` platform allows you to deliver notifications from Home Assistant to the local syslog.
To enable syslog notifications in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
notify:
- name: NOTIFIER_NAME
platform: syslog
```
{% configuration %}
name:
description: Setting the optional parameter `name` allows multiple notifiers to be created. The notifier will bind to the service `notify.NOTIFIER_NAME`.
required: false
default: notify
type: string
facility:
description: Facility according to RFC 3164 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3164). Check the table below for entries.
required: false
default: syslog
type: string
option:

required: false
default: pid
type: string
priority:

{% endconfiguration %}
The table contains values to use in your `configuration.yaml` file.
