+ <title>Logger Proxy</title>
+ <p>The Logger proxy is an Erlang process which is part of the
+ Kernel application's supervision tree. During startup, the proxy
+ process registers itself as the <c>system_logger</c>, meaning
+ that log events produced by the emulator are sent to this
+ process.</p>
+ <p>When a log event is issued on a process which has its group
+ leader on a remote node, Logger automatically forwards the log
+ event to the group leader's node. To achieve this, it first
+ sends the log event as an Erlang message from the original
+ client process to the proxy on the local node, and the proxy in
+ turn forwards the event to the proxy on the remote node.</p>
+ <p>When receiving a log event, either from the emulator or from a
+ remote node, the proxy calls the Logger API to log the event.</p>
+ <p>The proxy process is overload protected in the same way as
+ described in
+ section <seealso marker="#overload_protection">Protecting the
+ Handler from Overload</seealso>, but with the following default
+ values:</p>
+ <code>
+ #{sync_mode_qlen => 500,
+ drop_mode_qlen => 1000,
+ flush_qlen => 5000,
+ burst_limit_enable => false,
+ overload_kill_enable => false}</code>
+ <p>For log events from the emulator, synchronous message passing
+ mode is not applicable, since all messages are passed
+ asynchronously by the emulator. Drop mode is achieved by setting
+ the <c>system_logger</c> to <c>undefined</c>, forcing the
+ emulator to drop events until it is set back to the proxy pid
+ again.</p>
+ <p>The proxy uses <seealso marker="erts:erlang#send_nosuspend/2">
+ <c>erlang:send_nosuspend/2</c></seealso> when sending log
+ events to a remote node. If the message could not be sent
+ without suspending the sender, it is dropped. This is to avoid
+ blocking the proxy process.</p>
