Allow to customize crash log level

[fleficher]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We should be able to change the default log level for crashes. Currently, it's always set to EMERGENCY level while we would like to map them to ERROR level.

Describe the solution you'd like
From the Datadog Configuration.Builder, we should be able to customize the crash log level as:

 Datadog.initialize(
            context = context,
            configuration = Configuration.Builder(
                crashReportsEnabled = true,
                crashLogPriority = Log.ERROR,
            )
           // ...
        )

Hi @fleficher , thanks a lot for this proposal. Right now we purposefully decided to mark crashes as Emergencies to distinguish them from manually logged errors (from catch blocks, for instance).
Out of curiosity, what's your need into marking those as ERROR instead of EMERGENCY?

[fleficher]

@xgouchet Currently we're using only 5 levels of logs (error, warning, etc.), which make it simplier to make dashboards.
For the moment, we've made a pipeline to change the log level for crashes; which is working well.

We're having the exact same case. Are there any plans to have this be configurable? No other service we got is using the Emergency level log, which will make ours stand out and could also possibly make some people worried when those numbers start going up.

Hi @StylianosGakis , this is not in our immediate roadmap for now, as we want to distinguish actual crash from simply errors reported from try/catch blocks. You can use a logs pipeline to map the emergency status to something else, like @fleficher mentionned.

[StylianosGakis]

Yeah in our case it was mostly to not worry all the other engineers about suddenly having emergency logs while they've had 0 for a long time now.
I understand that this is not in the roadmap right now, and I will try to simply inform everyone in my company instead to understand why they are there. Thanks for the response 🤗
