[Changelog](CHANGELOG.md)

## Installation

Available in [Hex](https://hex.pm/packages/logger_fluentd_backend). The package can be installed as:

Add `logger_fluentd_backend` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:

```elixir
def deps do
  [{:logger_fluentd_backend, "~> 0.1"}]
end
```

After Elixir 1.4, just ensure `Logger` is in `extra_applications`:

```elixir
def application do
  [extra_applications: [:logger]]
end
```

In your `config.exs` (or in your `#{Mix.env}.exs`-files):

```elixir
config :logger, :logger_fluentd_backend,
  serializer: :msgpack,
  tag: "",
  level: :debug,
  host: "localhost",
  port: 24224
```

Then config `:logger` to use the `LoggerFluentdBackend.Logger`:

```elixir
config :logger,
  backends: [ :console,
    LoggerFluentdBackend.Logger
  ],
  level: :debug
```
