Erl_crash.dump to stdout / stderr?

A node on production can’t boot and all I’m seeing in Datadog is:

Crash dump is being written to: erl_crash.dump…done
erl_child_setup closed

Is it possible to configure the release somehow to log the error to stdout stderr? Then I will see it in Datadog automatically without connecting to the node.

You can try setting ERL_CRASH_DUMP=/dev/stdout and seeing if that will work.
