RingLogger persisting the log data to file as human readable text instead of binary #167

Closed blackode closed 6 months ago

blackode commented 6 months ago

Environment

Elixir version (elixir -v): 1.13.4
Nerves environment: (mix nerves.env --info)
Nerves environment MIX_TARGET: c2 MIX_ENV: prod

Current behavior

Logs are saved as binaries inside the file. I meant to say that they are not human-readable.

Expected behavior

Logs inside the file have to be human-readable.

RingLogger's persisted data isn't intended to be human-readable so this is the expected behavior. There are other Elixir and Erlang loggers that persist data in normal text files that probably are a better option for you.
