Allow more than one config file

[gmcinnes]

It might be handy if you could allow remote_syslog2 to follow the directory convention of:

- - etc
  | - remote_syslog.d
    |- application1_files.yml
     - application2_files.yml

Each yml file under there would potentially allow for the inclusion or exclusion of its own files. That way, if I say, deploy a web app to a box, I can have it put it's own .yml file in there, and ask remote_syslog2 to reload its config.

By doing that, the web app would be able to manage its own concerns without having to know about global things, such as the logging port for papertrail, or whether to use tls or not.

What do you think?

Good idea. I can definitely see value to it. Any interest in implementing it?

I could give it a go, but it will be a long time before I get to it, because I haven't played with Go yet.

Cool, thanks @gmcinnes. I'll leave this open; if anyone else wants to jump on it, feel free, and if not, we'll prioritize alongside other improvements.
