A [tracing layer](https://tokio.rs/tokio/topics/tracing) that sends logs to the [New Relic Log API](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/logs/get-started/get-started-log-management/).
## Requirements
You'll need a [New Relic API Key](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/apis/intro-apis/new-relic-api-keys/) for everything to work.
## Endpoint
By default, will try to send the logs to the `US1` region.
You can easily change the region or provide a custom URL if needed.
## Example
Here's a simple example of how to set it up and use it:
```rust
use nr_tracing_layer::NewRelicOptions;
use tracing_subscriber::prelude::*;
use tracing::{instrument, subscriber}
#[instrument]
fn log(msg: &'static str) {
tracing::info!("your message: {}", msg);
}
fn main() {
let options = NewRelicOptions::new("my-service", "my-new-relic-api-key")
.with_tags("env:dev");
let dd = nr_tracing_layer::create(options);
let subscriber = tracing_subscriber::registry()
.with(tracing_subscriber::fmt::Layer::new().json())
.with(dd);
let _s = subscriber::set_default(subscriber);
log("hello world!");
}
```
## Caveats
The layer will send the logs either 5 seconds after the last log is received or when the buffer arrives to 1000 logs. This is basically due to a limitation in the Datadog API.
