# LoggerGelf [](https://travis-ci.org/kociamber/logger_gelf)
**!!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`:
```elixir
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:
```elixir
config :logger,
backends: [:console, {LoggerGelf, :logger_gelf}]
```
You will also have to handle mandatory configuration:
```elixir
config :logger, :logger_gelf,
application: "my_application",
greylog_hostname: "127.0.0.1",
greylog_hostport: 12201,
```
optional config:
```elixir
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.
