test system log management using Papertrail

[tenkus47]

Description

Our application and all the application deployed using render need a log management system and since render log management can be easily integrated with papertrail and also it support saving the history log file in s3 which is one of the things we need.

Completion Criteria

• papertrail should be able to keep track of logs that are running on our render server
• this should make the study and filtering of logs much easier

Implementation Plan

we need to make a account using openpecha@gmail.com on paper trail and connect it to the servers running on render using log streaming feature of render. doing so will make the server log available in papertrail dashboard.

Subtasks

• [x] create account and start up paper trail
• [x] connect paper trail to render log streaming
• [ ] testing logs in paper trail dashboard
