Lumberjack

Application for providing nice UI for logs, especially in development. The idea is to allow for digesting data from different sources, not only Erlang Logger.

Goals

The intended use case is to have single place to view logs from all components of your application, so not only Erlang/Elixir logs, but for example also DB logs.

Installation

If available in Hex, the package can be installed by adding lumberjack to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:lumberjack, "~> 0.1.0"}
  ]
end

Documentation can be generated with ExDoc and published on HexDocs. Once published, the docs can be found at https://hexdocs.pm/lumberjack.

Configuration

config :lumberjack,
  sources: [
    Lumberjack.Sources.Logger,
    {Lumberjack.Sources.File, dirs: ["logs"]},
    {Lumberjack.Sources.Socket, type: :udp, port: 7777}
  ]

TODO

• Web UI via SSE or WebSockets (to be decided later, but I am in favour of SSE)
• Parsers for the incoming messages, so it will be possible to extract levels out of the messages incoming from external sources
• Fix bugs in file source (missing first message, missing messages on rotation)
• Filtering incoming messages
• Way to check metadata of the logged message
