What's New
Papertrail can accept logs from any Elixir app, with or without the
logger_papertrail_backend logging library.
Configure your Elixir app to log to a file as usual, then transmit the log file to Papertrail using remote_syslog2. This does not require any modifications to the app.
Alternatively, the app can send a log message directly to Papertrail using the syslog protocol.
To do this, add logger_papertrail_backend to
the app and point it at Papertrail. See
Add Systems for the host and <port> log destination values.
Since logger_papertrail_backend is emitting UDP, which is inherently connection-less,
the write calls are non-blocking.
