There are several c# libraries for syslog, I used this one on a recent project

You can use serilog for logging and add a syslog sink e.g.: https://github.com/vermeeca/Serilog.Sinks.Syslog or https://www.nuget.org/packages/Serilog.Sinks.SyslogMessages/

Heres my "gist" with a (very) lightweight Syslog library for .NET Core that uses p/invoke into
libchttps://github.com/jitbit/SyslogCore
It’s only 66 lines of code, feel free to simply throw it in your project.
