Loads of times, using the tracing ecosystem is a very good option. But sometimes, I have a small piece of software, which does simple logging and as I try to be a responsible dev, it should be monitored. So i give it some metrics.
This library tries to add a few simple metrics about what has been logged, making it easy to have a catch-all alert for things logging errors.
let drain = slog_prometheus::MonitoringDrainBuilder::new(drain)
.build()
.expect("Failed configuring setting up prometheus")
.fuse();Feel free to open an issue if you encounter any problems or are interested in features.
