Provides a ring buffer storage for your Heroku logs.

This is very much a work in progress project. There are many tasks remaining. The list below is merely a brain dump of ideas on where to take this project.

• Configurable Backend Datastores
  • Memory
  • Redis
  • S3 Bucket
• Multi Drain Capable
• Log Drain Endpoint
  • Basic Endpoint (No Auth)
  • Heroku Drain Token Auth
• List Endpoint
  • Basic Endpoint (No Auth)
  • Authentication
  • Live Tail Streaming
• Healthcheck Endpoint
  • Ensures backend is functional
• Welcome Success URL Endpoint
  • Guided steps to drain from another app to this collector
  • Authenticated, perhaps heroku-bouncer style to allow only app collaborators access to guided setup
• CLI Binary
  • Dumps n items from ring buffer
  • Dumps n items from ring buffer then live tail

There are several environment variables that you can tweak to customize your experience

The memory store will keep the logs buffered in memory. If the application restarts or crashes in anyway all the store logs are lost.

There is no additional configuration required for the memory datastore.

The redis datastore will utilize redis to store the logs. The persistance of the data in that redis datastore is completly up to the owner of that redis server.

The simplest way to to wire up a redis datastore is to use Heroku Redis or any 3rd Party Redis Add-on.

In order to utlize the memory datastore two additional environment variables that can be customized.
