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:

# 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: description: Log option. Check the table below for entries. required: false default: pid type: string priority: description: Priority of the messages. Check the table below for entries. required: false default: info type: string {% endconfiguration %}

The table contains values to use in your configuration.yaml file.
