LoggerGelf

!!Currently WIP!!

This application is able to generate Graylog Extended Log Format (GELF) UDP messages (TCP version coming soon)

Installation

The package can be installed by adding logger_gelf to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:logger_gelf, "~> 0.1.0"}
  ]
end

Configuration

In the config.exs, add gelf_logger as a backend / add it to backends list:

config :logger,
  backends: [:console, {LoggerGelf, :logger_gelf}]

You will also have to handle mandatory configuration:

config :logger, :logger_gelf,
  application: "my_application",
  greylog_hostname: "127.0.0.1",
  greylog_hostport: 12201,

optional config:

hostname: "hostname", #defaults to :inet.gethostname/0 result
level: :warn, # defaults to lowest level (:debug)
metadata: [:id, :module, :record], # defaults to :all
metadata_formatter: {Module, :function, arity}, # custom metadata formatter - you can add any function from your module and use it for metadata formatting, skipping the option will leave metadata as it is
json_encoder: Jason, #defaults to Jason, can be overriden by any module using  encode!/1 (ie. Poison)
compression: :gzip, # defaults to :gzip, :zlib or :raw are also available

Usage

Just add to deps, configure and use Logger as usual.
