Gelfex

Elixir client for logging GELF messages to Graylog.

At this time only the GELF TCP input is supported.

Installation

If available in Hex, the package can be installed as:

1. Add gelfex to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

   def deps do

    [{:gelfex, "~> 0.0.1"}]

   end

2. Ensure gelfex is started before your application:

   def application do

    [applications: [:gelfex]]

   end

Configuration

In your applications config.exs you will need a new section for customizing the connection to Graylog

config :gelfex,
  host: "graylog.local",
  port: "112201"

Usage

To create and send a message to Graylog:

message = Gelfex.Message.create(1, "This is my short message", "This is my long message")
{:ok} = Gelfex.Connection.send(message)
