Use OTP logger as a file backend?

Questions / Help

Hi,

I’ve seen that in the new OTP logger you can configure file logging, without using external dependencies. :+1:t3:

You know if it’s possible to replace logger_file_backend by configuring these new OTP logger handlers as Elixir Logger backends?

Thanks!

Currently AFAIK there is no such possibility because Elixir Logger just attaches itself as one of the backends to the logger. I am thinking about rewriting it to be thin wrapper over logger that will allow Elixir backends to be attached as sub-backends to the OTP logger, but even if I do it, it will probably not land in mainline before 1.10 as I believe this will be the first version OTP 21+.
