## Installation
Add it as a maven dependency:

com.stackify
stackify-api-java
4.0.2
```
## Configuration and Usage for Direct Logger
You need a stackify-api.properties file on your classpath that defines the configuration required for the Log API:
```
stackify.apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY
stackify.application=YOUR_APPLICATION_NAME
stackify.environment=YOUR_ENVIRONMENT
```
### Masking
The Stackify logger has built-in data masking for credit cards and social security number values.
**Enable Masking:**
Add `stackify.log.mask.enabled=true` to `stackify-api.properties`.
**Customize Masking:**
The example below has the following customizations:
1. Credit Card value masking is disabled (`stackify.log.mask.CREDITCARD=false`)
2. IP Address masking is enabled (`stackify.log.mask.IP=true`). Built in masks are `CREDITCARD`, `SSN` and `IP`.
3. Custom masking to remove vowels using a regex (`stackify.log.mask.custom.VOWELS=[aeiou]`)
```
stackify.log.mask.enabled=true
stackify.log.mask.CREDITCARD=false
stackify.log.mask.SSN=true
stackify.log.mask.IP=true
stackify.log.mask.custom.VOWELS=[aeiou]
```
Note: *If you are logging from a device that has the stackify-agent installed, the environment setting is optional. We will use the environment associated to your device in Stackify.*
Log a message to Stackify
```java
Logger.queueMessage("info", "Test message");
```
Log an exception to Stackify
```java
Logger.queueException("error", e);
```
Log a message and exception to Stackify
```java
Logger.queueException("error", "Test message", e);
```
Be sure to shutdown the Direct Logger to flush this appender of any messages and shutdown the background thread:
```java
LogManager.shutdown();
```
## Legacy Support
For legacy support of **Java 1.6 and 1.7** use the following maven dependency:
```
com.stackify
stackify-api-java
3.1.2
```
