[New-bugs-announce] [issue21807] SysLogHandler closes TCP connection after first message

[Omer Katz]

New submission from Omer Katz:

import logging
import logging.handlers
import socket

logger = logging.getLogger('mylogger')
handler = logging.handlers.SysLogHandler(('****', logging.handlers.SYSLOG_TCP_PORT), socktype=socket.SOCK_STREAM)
formatter = logging.Formatter('%(name)s: [%(levelname)s] %(message)s')
handler.setFormatter(formatter)

logger.addHandler(handler)

logger.info("TEST 1")
logger.info("TEST 2")

I have verified that this code only sends 'TEST 1' to Splunk and syslog-ng on both Python 2.7 and Python 3.4. After that, the connection appears closed. UDP on the other hand works just fine.
