If you want to connect to local syslog (Ex. "/dev/log" or "/var/run/syslog" or "/var/run/log"). Just assign empty string to the first two parameters of `NewSyslogHook`. It should look like the following.
```go
import (
"log/syslog"
"github.com/Sirupsen/logrus"
logrus_syslog "github.com/Sirupsen/logrus/hooks/syslog"
)
func main() {
log := logrus.New()
hook, err := logrus_syslog.NewSyslogHook("", "", syslog.LOG_INFO, "")
if err == nil {
log.Hooks.Add(hook)
}
}
```
