An easy-to-use wrapper for the logentries.com service. The node-red-contrib-logentries node makes it very easy to log directly to your logentries.com account direct from Node-Red.
Key Features:

- cloud logging enables many sources to arrive in one viewable, searchable location
Installation

- This will download this module and place in your node_modules directory
- This also installs the required NodeJs package for logentries service.
Usage
When you open the node-Red GUI, there will be a node under the "storage" section called logentries which you can drag onto the board. Then double click to set the configuration.
