elogger is a disk based, file wrapping, error_logger.
elogger.erl is identical to the logger.erl module from jungerl. It has been renamed and put at github for convenient usage by other Erlang github project.
To set it up: add it as a git submodule and make sure the
Erlang path is including its ebin directory. Then start it
from your supervisor. Example:
server(Name, Type) ->
server(Name, Type, 2000).
server(Name, Type, Shutdown) ->
{Name, {Name, start_link, []}, permanent, Shutdown, Type, [Name]}.
worker(Name) -> server(Name, worker).
init([]) ->
Elogger = worker(elogger),
{ok,{{one_for_one ,0,1},
[Elogger
]}}.
Use the following configurations parameters in your .app file
to control the name, size and number of logfiles.
{env, [
...
{nolog, false},
{errlog_type, error}, % all : also progress reports
{error_logger_mf_file, "/var/log/redhot/redhot"},
{error_logger_mf_maxbytes, 500000},
{error_logger_mf_maxfiles, 5},
...
Good luck!
