Add a no-color option #110

Open igcherkaev opened 3 years ago

igcherkaev commented 3 years ago

Hello,

It's more like a feature request. Could we add an option to skip adding color codes into log output? It's odd to see it hard-coded with no option to disable coloring in the logs. When logs are exported to log collection services like sumologic and alike, you are billed per volume, and with large amounts of logging/apps, it all adds up and results in bigger charges. Also, makes it harder to set up regexps and other stuff for parsing and alerting.

Thank you.

Hi Igor,

Overmind is mainly a development tool, and I don't think it fits the production needs. Honestly, I'd choose something else to run processes in production.

As for the coloring problem, it's possible to add a flag to disable the process labels colors, but processes themselves can add colors and stuff to their output, and this would be quite a problem to cut them.
