Structured logging of message fetching and delivery #76

Closed tpitale closed 5 years ago

It may be valuable to know that messages are being fetched/processed/delivered to a remote location in a structured log. Still undecided on this. If using que/sidekiq new jobs will be processed; if using logger all messages are already logged. Only in a remote delivery case (callbacks) would it be especially hard to know if new messages were being fetched/delivered without a log if the remote service is not within the users control.

This also makes me think about other instrumentation like timing and stats into influxdb or something.

With structured logs we could consume the log and send stats as a distinct process. Or ship the right off to log processing tools to be analyzed.

Hi @tpitale ! I started a PR continuing @ZJvandeWeg 's earlier work on structured logging. What do you think?
