Loggers

A logger is usually configured in the config file. The logging section is inside controller, e.g.

 netplex {
         ...
         controller {
           ...
           logging { ... };
           ...
         }
         ...
       }

The possible types of logging sections are explained below. If there are several logging sections, the messages are sent to all configured loggers.

Instead of configuring loggers in the config file, one can also create loggers from config objects like generic_config.

See also Logging for more documentation.

class type generic_config = object .. end

val channel_logger : Pervasives.out_channel -> Netplex_types.logger

Outputs messages to the channel

val channel_logger_from_obj : generic_config -> Pervasives.out_channel -> Netplex_types.logger

Outputs messages to the channel

val stderr_logger_factory : Netplex_types.logger_factory

Reads a logging section like

 logging {
       type = "stderr";
       format = "<format string>";
       component = "<name_of_component>";
       subchannel = "<name_of_subchannel>";
       max_level = "<max_level>";
    }

format: Optional format string. See below.
component: Optional component selector. See below.
subchannel: Optional subchannel selector. See below.
max_level: Optional maximum log level. See below.

val file_logger : string -> Netplex_types.logger

Writes messages to this file

val file_logger_from_obj : generic_config -> string -> Netplex_types.logger

Writes messages to this file

val file_logger_factory : Netplex_types.logger_factory

Reads a logging section like

 logging {
       type = "file";
       file = "/path/to/logfile";
       format = "<format string>";
       component = "<name_of_component>";
       subchannel = "<name_of_subchannel>";
       max_level = "<max_level>";
    }

file: Log messages are appended to this file.
format: Optional format string. See below.
component: Optional component selector. See below.
subchannel: Optional subchannel selector. See below.
max_level: Optional maximum log level. See below.

class type multi_file_config = object .. end

val multi_file_logger : multi_file_config -> Netplex_types.logger

val multi_file_logger_factory : Netplex_types.logger_factory

Reads a logging section like

 logging {
       type = "multi_file";
       directory = "/path/to/logdir";
       format = "<format string>";
       file {
           component = "<name_of_component>";
           subchannel = "<name_of_subchannel>";
           max_level = "<max_level>";
           file = "<logfile>";
           format = "<format string>";
       };
       file { ... }; ...
    }

format: Optional format string. See below.
component: Optional component selector. See below.
subchannel: Optional subchannel selector. See below.
max_level: Optional maximum log level. See below.

class type syslog_config = object .. end

val syslog_logger : syslog_config -> Netplex_types.logger

Creates a logger writing to syslog

val syslog_logger_factory : Netplex_types.logger_factory

Reads a logging section like

 logging {
       type = "syslog";
       format = "<format string>";
       identifier = "<identifier>";
       facility = "<facility name>";
       component = "<name_of_component>";
       subchannel = "<name_of_subchannel>";
       max_level = "<max_level>";
    }

All parameters except type are optional:

facility: The faciltiy like LOCAL0, USER, ...
identifier: An identifier prefixing every message
format: Optional format string. See below.
component: Optional component selector. See below.
subchannel: Optional subchannel selector. See below.
max_level: Optional maximum log level. See below.

val logger_factories : Netplex_types.logger_factory list

All built-in logger factories

val level_weight : Netplex_types.level -> int

An integer corresponding to the level

val level_of_string : string -> Netplex_types.level

Convert a string to a level

Common parameters

Logging parameters that can occur in all logging configurations:

format

The format string may include variable parts in the syntax $name or ${name}. The following variable specifications are defined:

timestamp: the time in standard format (as set in Netlog.current_formatter)
timestamp:<format> the time in custom format where <format> is a Netdate format string
timestamp:unix: the time in seconds since the epoch
component: the name of the component emitting the log message
subchannel: the name of the subchannel
level: the log level
message: the log message

component

The component name restricts logging to the given Netplex component. One can use the wildcard "*".

subchannel

The subchannel name restricts logging to this subchannel. One can use the wildcard "*".

max_level

The max_level specifier restricts logging to messages with at most this level. Levels are "emerg", "alert", "crit", "err", "warning", "notice", "info", "debug" (in order of increasing level).
