This is part of an evil plan to transition from lager to the OTP 21.0 logger as the VerneMQ logging framework.

But why, what does logger can offer?

  • Structured logs including JSON logs (container and DevOps people love these)
  • overload protection mechanisms
  • default logs metadata
  • one less dependency to worry about, and in the future lager plans to default to the logger
  • plugins don't have to include lager, when I was developing plugins had problems a few times from using a different lager version than VerneMQ had

Upcoming series of PRs coming to other Verne Repos and documentation.
