log_mf_h
An Event Handler which Logs Events to Disk
The log_mf_h
is a gen_event
handler module which
can be installed in any gen_event
process. It logs onto disk all events
which are sent to an event manager. Each event is written as a
binary which makes the logging very fast. However, a tool such as the Report Browser
(rb
) must be used in order to read the files. The events are written to multiple files. When all files have been used, the first one is re-used and overwritten. The directory location, the number of files, and the size of each file are configurable. The directory will include one file called index
, and
report files 1, 2, ....
.
