Existing handlers

[scls19fr]

Hello,

I noticed in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0L-at3PyU8 that you are using
CloudWatchLogs.jl as logging handler
Maybe Memento doc should give a non exhaustive list of logging handlers for Memento.
Such a list could be added to https://github.com/invenia/Memento.jl/blob/master/docs/src/man/handlers.md

Kind regard

PS:

• CloudWatchLogs.jl
• Syslogs.jl

Python logbook package provides a quite big list of logging handlers
http://logbook.readthedocs.io/en/stable/quickstart.html#handlers
Maybe implementing some handlers could be an interesting exercice for JuliaCon 2018 Hackaton?

Currently, the handler behaviour is split between handlers (e.g., DefaultHandler, CloudWatchLogs) and custom IO types (e.g., FileRoller, Syslogs.jl). This is largely a hold over from the Lumberjack.jl days. I think the plan is to convert the custom IO types into handlers and perhaps split the DefaultHandler into a ConsoleHandler and StreamHandler.

If you'd like to implement a BulkSMS and Pushover handler the main things to keep in mind are that you'll want to override the getfilters(::Handler) and emit(::Handler, rec::Record) methods. Everything else should just work after that.
