Connect to graylog and set the global connection

Package

Source

graylog.lisp.

Function: graylog (message &rest args &key level backtrace host connection &allow-other-keys)

Log to graylog using GELF

https://www.graylog.org/resources/gelf/

Version 1.1 (11/2013)
A GELF message is a GZIP’d or ZLIB’d JSON string with the following fields:

version string (UTF-8)

GELF spec version – “1.1”; MUST be set by client library.

host string (UTF-8)

the name of the host, source or application that sent this message; MUST be set by client library.

short_message string (UTF-8)

a short descriptive message; MUST be set by client library.

full_message string (UTF-8)

a long message that can i.e. contain a backtrace; optional.

timestamp number

Seconds since UNIX epoch with optional decimal places for milliseconds; SHOULD be set by client library. Will be set to NOW by server if absent.

level number

the level equal to the standard syslog levels; optional, default is 1 (ALERT).

facility string (UTF-8)

optional, deprecated. Send as additional field instead.

line number

the line in a file that caused the error (decimal); optional, deprecated. Send as additional field instead.

file string (UTF-8)

the file (with path if you want) that caused the error (string); optional, deprecated. Send as additional field instead.

_[additional field] string (UTF-8) or number

every field you send and prefix with a _ (underscore) will be treated as an additional field. Allowed characters in field names are any word character (letter, number, underscore), dashes and dots. The verifying regular expression is: ^[w.-]*$

Libraries SHOULD not allow to send id as additional field (_id). Graylog server nodes omit this field automatically.
