host: 127.0.0.1
default_log: /var/log/weblogs/default
daemonize: true
syncinterval: 60
logs:
- service: bigapp
  logfile:  /var/log/bigapp
  cull: true
- service:
  - smallapp1
  - smallapp2
  logfile: /var/log/smallapps
  cull: true
- service: newsletter_sender
  logfile: /var/log/newsletter.log
  cull: false


Then start the analogger:

/usr/bin/env analogger -c config_file


To use the client library to connect to an Analogger instance and send
logging messages to it:

require 'swiftcore/Analogger/Client'

logger = Swiftcdore::Analogger::Client.new('smallapp1','127.0.0.1','6766')

logger.log('info','This is a log message.')
