klogger is a erlang app to create loggers with console and file backend. Klogger can create more than one logger with diferents backends and log levels.

This is an openshine project developed by:

• Pablo Vieytes

start the application

klogger:start().

Klogger is multi logger application, but no logger is started by default, so, at least one should be added to start to log. You can add as many as you want to. If no options are given when a logger is added, it will have console backend and the higher log level (every message will be showed).

klogger:add_logger(logger).
logger:debug("text message").

The logger name ('logger' in this case) must be an atom. You should be careful with this name. Some code will be compiled dynamically and loaded as logger name.

Options could be a backend tuple or a list of backend tuples Options for console backend:

{backend, [backend_option()]}

backend_option() = name() | type() | loglevel() | level() | path() | get_error_logger()
name() = {name, Name::atom()}
type() = {type, file_backend | console_backend}
loglevel() = {loglevel, integer() | debug | info | warning | error | fatal | none}
path() = {path, Path::string()}
get_error_logger() =  {get_error_logger, enable | disable}

type() and name() are mandatory, and path() is also mandatory for file_backend loggers.

There are defined some integer macros:

• ?DEBUG
• ?INFO
• ?WARNING
• ?ERROR
• ?FATAL
• ?NONE

Add new logger with options:

Options = [
 	{backend, [{name, console_log}, 
			   {type, console_backend},
			   {loglevel, debug},
			   {get_error_logger, enable}
			  ]},
		{backend,  [{name, file_log}, 
			    {type, file_backend},
			    {loglevel, debug},
			    {path, LogFilePath},
			    {get_error_logger, enable}
			   ]}
	       ]
klogger:add_logger(logger, Options).

Log level can be change at runtime.

klogger:set_log_level(logger, {file_log, ?DEBUG}).
