MCGraylog 
MCGraylog is a Cocoa C library for logging to a Graylog2 server or any
other service that can grok GELF.
MCGraylog is asynchronous and concurrent, so you should not have to
worry about blocking while you log; but, there might be a slight delay
between the time that something is logged and it shows up in Graylog.
Usage
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <MCGraylog.h>
int
main(int argc, char** argv)
{
// have to initialize some state first
NSURL* graylog_url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"graylog://localhost:12900/"];
int init_error = graylog_init(graylog_url, GraylogLogLevelDebug);
if (init_error)
return -1;
// the easiest way to log is using the macros
GRAYLOG_NOTICE(@"test_app", @"My first test message");
// macros accept format strings, if you want to give more detailed messages
GRAYLOG_DEBUG(@"test_app", @"Test app has PID of %d", getpid());
// alternatively, you can log a dictionary of additional information
// as long as that dictionary can be serialized to JSON
graylog_log(GraylogLogLevelEmergency,
@"test_app",
@"extra information",
@{
@"userInfo": @{ @"username": @"ferrous" }
});
// when you are done with MCGraylog, you can optionally shut it down
graylog_deinit();
}
The full API is documented in MCGraylog.h
. For testing, it may
be easier to setup Logstash, which can understand GELF, instead
of setting up Graylog for testing.
We use Logstash to test MCGraylog, so you can reference our test
configuration (and files) to get started more quickly.
