Announcing 'gelfd' - A small, native D library to generate logs 
in the Graylog Extended Log Format (GELF).

GELF (https://www.graylog.org/resources/gelf/) is an "open 
standard" logging format based on JSON. It is primarily used to 
pipe messages to Graylog (graylog.org), an open source log 
management and analysis platform.

This module aims to provide a simple, structured, way of 
generating GELF messages. You can construct messages in multiple 
parts, add arbitrary payload data, query their contents and send 
it using any transport mechanism you prefer.

Chunking and compression of messages is supported.

The package is documented w examples and is considered stable 
(although not tested by anyone outside of myself). Although I've 
only announced this now, I have been using this in production at 
our startup since Nov 2015.


Release : v1.2.3 (Stable)
Github  : https://github.com/adilbaig/gelfd
Dub Pkg : http://code.dlang.org/packages/gelfd
Graylog : https://www.graylog.org/

That arose out of a project that we are working on where it is 
convenient to be able to integrate with std.experimental.logger.  
Internal work that has been opensourced, rather than written with 
the primary target of open source, and if we had more time I 
would have suggested basing off Adil's work.  As it is, it was 
just a write from scratch by Ilya.  I thank Adil for making me 
aware of Graylog and Gelf format, as I wouldn't have known about 
it otherwise.

Main benefit for us is to be able to reap the benefits of 
std.experimental.logger - very easy to switch logging source, and 
I think runtime cost of trace statements should be zero if turned 
off.  Little fiddly state machines with a few things that need to 
be ironed out that only show up now and then, so writeflns and 
debugging in an IDE don't cut it.

Graylog is a bit of a monster that uses Mongo, elasticsearch and 
who knows what else - for some things might be easier to use the 
Gelf format with a D back end.  But it's a very nice way to think 
about the problem.
