Erlang: What logger do you use?

Question

For example, ejabberd and couchdb use own logger. Question is what logger do you use? Own or what? Thank you!

Answer 1

I use my own logger because I find that the OTP one (SASL error_logger) is difficult to work with. The format can't be read by a simple cat or text editor so it makes quick debugging not trivial.

My solution is inspired by ejabberd.

Answer 2

I use log4erl

Answer 3

I use my own. But I use the OTP gen_event behaviour to do so. It makes it easy to roll your own in such a way that logging can be asynchronous and fits into an OTP setup easily.

Answer 4

I use SASL error_logger.

Answer 5

I use SASL. It has been great.
