I'm trying to implement email reporter backend for Logger, which should handle any type of errors/error reports and send them (with sufficient buffering/throttling) to our alert mailing list. The intention is to handle both errors reported via Elixir.Logger and Erlang's error_logger (OTP reports and SASL reports).
Currently, we are utilizing :errlog_type config option for :sasl application, which allow us to suppress progress report from supervisors by setting it to :error level. As you know, supervisors aggressively reports their progresses, so without this logs are greatly bloated. The point is, in :logger application, there is no equivalent to :sasl's :errlog_type when :handle_sasl_reports are set to true. There is :level option, but (I believe,) it affects globally in Logger, thus setting it to :error suppresses :info level log from Elixir.Logger, too. I am aware that setting log levels separately for error_logger redirections and Elixir.Logger logs, is a bit too specific. However, suppressing just supervisor's progress report, might be somewhat common demand, so I opened this thread to request a config option to achieve this in Elixir.Logger. My rough thought for implementation: 1. Add something like :handle_supervisor_progress option, defaults to true. config :logger, [ handle_sasl_reports: true, handle_supervisor_progress: false, ] 2. The value is held in :progress field of the state in Elixir.Logger.ErrorHandler, and handle :progress report only when it is true. error_handler.ex#L67 <https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/blob/master/lib/logger/lib/logger/error_handler.ex#L67> defp log_event({:info_report, _gl, {pid, :progress, data}}, %{sasl: true, progress: true} = state), do: log_event(:info, :report, pid, {:progress, data}, state) Would be glad to hear your thoughts.
