LogForwarder

A simple LogForwarder backend as a supervisor which forwards logs to another server.

Installation

def deps do
  [
    {:log_forwarder, "~> 0.2.1"}
  ]
end

Configuration

Our config.exs would have an entry similar to this:

config :log_forwarder, config:
    host: "localhost",
    port: 24224,
    prefix: "LogForwarder",
    retry_times: 10,
    attributes: ~w(level error ...)

LogForwarder supports the following configuration values:

• host
• port
• prefix
• retry_times
• attributes

How to use

The typical use of LogForwarder is to set up using a Supervisor. It can be handled automatically:

1. Add following into application.ex:

def start(_type, _args) do
    Supervisor.start_link(
        [ supervisor(LogForwarder, []),
        # other Supervisor or Worker
        ]
    )
end

1. Ensure LogForwarder is started before your app:

   def application do
   [applications: [:cachex]]
   end

2. Then:

   defmodule SampleModule do
    import LogForwarder
   
    def sample_func() do
        # do something ...
        send_log("api_tag", :info, data)
    end
   end
