 The following appenders are supported by log4js, but will issue deprecation warnings from version 2.6 onwards - they will be removed from the log4js core in version 3. If you are using these appenders, you should alter your dependencies to include them explicitly.
 
 * [gelf](https://github.com/log4js-node/gelf)
+* [loggly](https://github.com/log4js-node/loggly)
 
 For example, if you were previously using the gelf appender (`type: 'gelf'`) then you should add `@log4js-node/gelf` to your dependencies and change the type to `type: '@log4js-node/gelf'`.

-# Loggly Appender
-
-Sends logging events to [Loggly](https://www.loggly.com), optionally adding tags. This appender uses [node-loggly](https://www.npmjs.com/package/loggly), and you will need to include that in your dependencies if you want to use this appender. Consult the docs for node-loggly, or loggly itself, if you want more information on the configuration options below.
-
-## Configuration
-
-* `type` - `loggly`
-* `token` - `string` - your really long input token
-* `subdomain` - `string` - your subdomain
-* `tags` - `Array<string>` (optional) - tags to include in every log message
-
-This appender will scan the msg from the logging event, and pull out any argument of the
-shape `{ tags: [] }` so that it's possible to add additional tags in a normal logging call. See the example below.
-
-## Example
-
-```javascript
-log4js.configure({
-  appenders: {
-    loggly: {
-      type: 'loggly',
-      token: 'somethinglong',
-      subdomain: 'your.subdomain',
-      tags: [ 'tag1' ]
-    }
-  },
-  categories: {
-    default: { appenders: ['loggly'], level: 'info' }
-  }
-});
-
-const logger = log4js.getLogger();
-logger.info({ tags: ['my-tag-1', 'my-tag-2'] }, 'Some message');
-```
-
-This will result in a log message being sent to loggly with the tags `tag1`, `my-tag-1`, `my-tag-2`.
