            .SYNOPSIS
            Sends a SYSLOG message to a server running the SYSLOG daemon
 
            .DESCRIPTION
            Sends a message to a SYSLOG server as defined in RFC 5424 and RFC 3164. It can use UDP, TCP or TCP with TLS/SSL.

            Nothing is output
 
            .EXAMPLE
            Send-SyslogMessage -Server mySyslogserver -Message 'The server is down!' -Severity Emergency -Facility Mail
            Sends a syslog message to mysyslogserver, saying "server is down", severity emergency and facility is mail
 
            .EXAMPLE
            Send-SyslogMessage -Server mySyslogserver -Message 'The server is up' -Severity Informational -Facility Mail -Transport TCP
            Sends a syslog message to mysyslogserver, using TCP, saying "server is up", severity informational and facility is mail
