* `Loggix` is a custom Logger Backend with easy configuration.
using `GenEvent`.
## Concept
* Configuration of log rotation
* JSON, Logfmt or whatever module implements an encoding function which accepts a `Map` as
input
* Metadata filter
## Installation
If [available in Hex](https://hex.pm/docs/publish), the package can be installed
by adding `loggix` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:
```elixir
def deps do
[{:loggix, "~> 0.0.8"}]
end
```
Documentation can be generated with [ExDoc](https://github.com/elixir-lang/ex_doc)
and published on [HexDocs](https://hexdocs.pm). Once published, the docs can

## Configration
To configure `loggix` as app logger backend, set environments into `config/config.exs`.
```elixir
config :logger,
backends: [{Loggix, :error_log}]
config :logger, :error_log,
path: "var/log/error_log",
level: :error,
encoder: {Poison, :encode!},
metadata: [:user_id, :is_auth],
rotate: %{max_bytes: 4096, keep: 6},
metadata_filter: [:is_app]
```
* path : String - the path for a log file
* level : Logger.Level - the logging level for backend
* format : String - the log format
* metadata : [atom] - the metadata to include
* rotate: `map(max_bytes, is_auth)` : configuration of log rotation
* `metadata_filter`: configuration of filtering log
