Hello,
I consider Exlager really nice but (if I didn't miss something) in the README there is not mentioned one crucial moment - underlying Lager has it's own default setting which is not affected by Exlager settings. It took me some time to realize this...
For instance if you set
elixirc_options: [exlager_level: :debug, exlager_truncation_size: 8096]
you still get no debug messages in the console because lager has default
{handlers, [{lager_console_backend, info}, ...
(see https://github.com/basho/lager/blob/master/src/lager.app.src )
IMHO there should be some warning in the README that you must override the default with app.config, explicitly use lager:set_loglevel/2 or such... and ideally Exlager should have some way to set Lager's options.
P.S. thank you very much for your work on Exlager!
