Build script with dbus using stack
I followed the instructions on this post, which sets ~/.xmonad as a stack project. I set xmonad-log (also tried with haskell-dbus) in the stack.yml as an extra-dep However, it is not working for me.

Updating a module in xmobar
As an aside, you should use the bar you're most comfortable with. Sure most people use xmobar, but the point of xmonad is that you can create your favourite computing environment :) If you prefer polybar then it's not terribly hard to get it to work with xmonad. You can either send what you want down a pipe and let polybar read from that pipe or you can use something like xmonad-dbus to let them talk via dbus.

trayer not showing up on first monitor
xembed status trays are only able to show up on one monitor at a time. If you want a tray on each monitor, you will need to use an sni tray like https://github.com/taffybar/gtk-sni-tray
What are some alternatives?

xmobar - A minimalistic status bar
gtk-strut
xmonad-log - DBus monitor for xmonad log events.
linux_notification_center - A notification daemon/center for linux
status-notifier-item - A Haskell implementation of the StatusNotifierItem protocol (https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/StatusNotifierItem/).
taffybar - A gtk based status bar for tiling window managers such as XMonad
Gifcurry - 😎 The open-source, Haskell-built video editor for GIF makers.
trayer-srg - trayer fork with multi monitor support, cleaned up codebase and other fancy stuff
xmonad-testing - Stack/cabal setup for testing xmonad* and configurations
dots - These are my config files and I treasure them
