gelfd 1.0.0

gelfd

D module for the GELF protocol.

What is GELF?

GELF stands for the Graylog Extended Logging Format.

The Graylog Extended Log Format (GELF) is a log format that avoids the shortcomings of classic plain syslog, when logging to Graylog. It is an open standard with implementations in several languages.

GELF is a pure JSON format. It merely describes how log messages should be structured. In addition it describes compression of messages and chunking of large messages over UDP.

The protocol is described at graylog.org/resources/gelf

This module aims to provide a very simple way of generating log messages in GELF format.
