Hello all,
I’m new to Elixir/Phoenix. I want to replace the default logger module with syslog to be compatible with the syslog protocol. My Phoenix project has 2 apps/sub-modules. With respect to the logger hex documentation I’ve placed the handler in the main project’s config.exs :
config :app_a, :logger, [ {:handler, :test_handler, :syslog_logger_h, configuration = %{}} ]
config :app_b, :logger, [ {:handler, :test_handler, :syslog_logger_h, configuration = %{}} ]
Also, each app’s mix.exs has the following dependency:
defp deps do [ {:syslog, github: "schlagert/syslog"} ]
Each apps Application.start() explicitly uses the add_handlers callback to enable the syslog handler (e.g. :logger.add_handlers(:app_a) ). I use netct to listen for incoming syslog messages with the following command: ncat -tul 514 (514 being the default syslog port). I can see each apps syslog messages if they are enabled individually.
I could not get both applications to send their syslog messages at the same time. Only one of the applications’ syslog messages were displayed. Any help is much appreciated.
