Papertrail-go is a Go (golang) library built using Go modules for shipping logs to Papertrail using syslog over udp or tcp or tls.

Warning: This is a Go library project. It will NOT produce a consumable executable.

In order to ship logs to Papertrail, you will need a Papertrail account. If you don't have one already, you can sign up for one here. After you are logged in, you will need to create a Log Destination from under the Settings menu. When a log destination is created, you will be given a host:port combo.
