<!-- Optional: comma delimited tags to send with errors -->
<tags>production,variant-a</tags>

Any WARN or ERROR log messages will be posted to raygun. If the message contains an exception, then those exception details will be included. If no exception is included, then the log message is reported, with a synthesised 1 element long stack trace of the log message call-site.
Multiple API keys
It is possible to specify multiple API keys that apply to particular named hosts. This allows different hosts to log to different raygun applications (such as a testing environment application vs a production environment application).
When named API keys are used, raygun messages are suppressed if the hostname doesn't match a named entry. Named API keys use the following syntax:
<apiKey>vogon:OpjzfzXvHooFqjyhT5311g== desiato:DYkfAazxL/HxiwnhtRkAvA==</apiKey>
The machine name (as reported by InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName()) is followed by a colon :, then the API key. Entries are separated by a space.
