I'm using ubuntu 14.04 with the included boost 1.54 and I'm trying to set up a syslog sink.

I've cut this from the samples and added "ident".

void init_syslog()

{

boost::shared_ptr< boost::log::core > core = boost::log::core::get();

// Create a backend

boost::shared_ptr< sinks::syslog_backend > backend(new sinks::syslog_backend(

keywords::facility = sinks::syslog::local0,

keywords::use_impl = sinks::syslog::native,

keywords::ident = "mqtt-proxy"

));

// Set the straightforward level translator for the "Severity" attribute of type int

backend->set_severity_mapper(sinks::syslog::direct_severity_mapping< int >("Severity"));

// Wrap it into the frontend and register in the core.

// The backend requires synchronization in the frontend.

core->add_sink(boost::make_shared< sink_t >(backend));

}

The logs end up in syslog but I cant prefix those by program name (and processnumber ) - I've expected the logs to be marked as 'mqtt-proxy'

I get logs like

Sep 29 03:47:40 ubuntu : ad569c57-780a-431b-bde3-7ede49e7c77f, bridge create

but what I would like is similar to

Sep 29 03:47:40 ubuntu mqtt-proxy: ad569c57-780a-431b-bde3-7ede49e7c77f, bridge create

Am I missing something or is ident not supported?
