# Loggly Appender
Sends logging events to [Loggly](https://www.loggly.com), optionally adding tags. This appender uses [node-loggly](https://www.npmjs.com/package/loggly), and you will need to include that in your dependencies if you want to use this appender. Consult the docs for node-loggly, or loggly itself, if you want more information on the configuration options below.
## Configuration
* `type` - `loggly`
* `token` - `string` - your really long input token
* `subdomain` - `string` - your subdomain
* `tags` - `Array<string>` (optional) - tags to include in every log message
This appender will scan the msg from the logging event, and pull out any argument of the
shape `{ tags: [] }` so that it's possible to add additional tags in a normal logging call. See the example below.
## Example
```javascript
log4js.configure({
appenders: {
loggly: {
type: 'loggly',
token: 'somethinglong',
subdomain: 'your.subdomain',
tags: [ 'tag1' ]
}
},
categories: {
default: { appenders: ['loggly'], level: 'info' }
}
});
const logger = log4js.getLogger();
logger.info({ tags: ['my-tag-1', 'my-tag-2'] }, 'Some message');
```
This will result in a log message being sent to loggly with the tags `tag1`, `my-tag-1`, `my-tag-2`.
