A backend for the Elixir Logger that will send logs to the Logstash UDP input.
- host: String.t. The hostname or ip address where to send the logs.
- port: Integer. The port number. Logstash should be listening with its UDP inputter.
- metadata: Keyword.t. Extra fields to be added when sending the logs. These will be merged with the metadata sent in every log message.
- level: Atom. Minimum level for this backend.
- type: String.t. Type of logs. Useful to filter in logstash.

To use it in your Mix projects, first add it as a dependency:
def deps do
[{:logger_logstash_backend, "~> 2.1.0"}]
end
Then run mix deps.get to install it.
