Logback appender for Riemann

• Sends logging events to Riemann via UDP
• Supports configurable level-based filtering of log events via the riemannLogLevel config property
• Maps attributes of the log event to a Riemann event as follows:

Log Event	Riemann Event
rendered message	:log/message
level	added as a custom attribute: :log/level
Marker name	prefixed with log/ and added to :tags
each key-value pair in the MDC	added as a custom attribute with key in the :log ns
throwableProxy, if it exists	custom attribute: :log/stacktrace
name of the logger	custom attribute: :log/logger

:host and :service are set via configuring logback.xml as below. You can also configure customAttributes for the logger -- these will be added to the Riemann event as custom attributes. Each of the keys of the custom attributes will be in the log namespace.

Usage

Artifacts are available through clojars which you can add to your maven repository like so:

<repository>
  <id>clojars.org</id>
  <url>http://clojars.org/repo</url>
</repository>

See resources/logback.xml for a full example configuration.

<configuration scan="true">
