Overview

This is a Logtail backend for logtail which lets you send lager logs to your logtail account. Lager_loggly was copied and edited so i could achieve this, special thanks to them for that!

Configuration

Configure a Lager handler like the following:

{lager_logtail_backend, [Level, MaxRetries, RetryInterval, LogtailToken]}

• Level - The lager level at which the backend accepts messages (eg. using ‘info’ would send all messages at info level or above into syslog)
• MaxRetries - The maximum number of retries the backend will do before giving up on Logtail
• RetryInterval - The interval at which each retry is performed. i.e. Retries 5 and Interval 3 means that it will try a maximum of 5 times with 3 seconds apart
• LogtailToken - This is your unique Logtail token

An example might look something like this:

{lager_logtail_backend, [info, 5, 3, <OWN_TOKEN>]}

Refer to Lager’s documentation for further information on configuring handlers.
