logs

Boring but necessary.

Why?

We needed a simpler way of doing logging in our Elixir / Phoenix Apps that was fully compatible with existing Logger calls but more ergonomic and faster to use.

What?

A logging abstraction library that allows us to write a single line in a file and let the lib do any heavy lifting / routing behind the scenes.

Who?

This is another "for us by us" library that we don't expect anyone else to use. It's Open Source so that anyone can use it. If you're reading this and want to contribute, please dive in!

How?

Installation

Add logs to your list of deps in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:logs, "~> 1.0.0"}
  ]
end

Roadmap?

Eventually we would like to have a logging service that:

• Spawns a process to async send logs to a log storing/visualising service like Logstash

Looks like this is a good starting point: https://hex.pm/packages/logstash_logger_formatter
