This Lua logging module facilitates colorized log messages to visually distinguish between different log levels such as DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERR, and CRIT. It integrates with NGINX through the ngx.log method to log directly to NGINX's error log and a custom lua log file at appropriate levels, in addition to writing to specified log files (default: /var/log/lua/default.log). It supports conditional logging based on a maximum log level setting and can serialize table messages to JSON format. It is suitable for both development and production environments, with recommendations to adjust log levels appropriately.

lua-cjson (>= 2.1.0.10-1) -> https://luarocks.org/modules/openresty/lua-cjson
