.backtrace(b = nil) ⇒ Object

call-seq:

Logging.backtrace             #=> true or false
Logging.backtrace( value )    #=> true or false

Without any arguments, returns the global exception backtrace logging value. When set to true backtraces will be written to the logs; when set to false backtraces will be suppressed.

When an argument is given the global exception backtrace setting will be changed. Value values are "on", :on<tt> and true to turn on backtraces and <tt>"off", :off and false to turn off backtraces.

      end
end

.configure(*args, &block) ⇒ Object

call-seq:

Logging.configure( filename )
Logging.configure { block }

Configures the Logging framework using the configuration information found in the given file. The file extension should be either ‘.yaml’ or ‘.yml’ (XML configuration is not yet supported).

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError)

  else raise ArgumentError, 'unknown configuration file format' end
end

.consolidate(*args) ⇒ Object

call-seq:

Logging.consolidate( 'First::Name', 'Second::Name', ... )

Consolidate all loggers under the given namespace. All child loggers in the namespace will use the “consolidated” namespace logger instead of creating a new logger for each class or module.

If the “root” logger name is passed to this method then all loggers will consolidate to the root logger. In other words, only the root logger will be created, and it will be used by all classes and moduels in the applicaiton.

Example

Logging.consolidate( 'Foo' )

foo = Logging.logger['Foo']
bar = Logging.logger['Foo::Bar']
baz = Logging.logger['Baz']

foo.object_id == bar.object_id    #=> true
foo.object_id == baz.object_id    #=> false

end

.format_as(f) ⇒ Object

call-seq:

Logging.format_as( obj_format )

Defines the default obj_format method to use when converting objects into string representations for logging. obj_format can be one of :string, :inspect, or :yaml. These formatting commands map to the following object methods

  • :string => to_s

  • :inspect => inspect

  • :yaml => to_yaml

An ArgumentError is raised if anything other than :string, :inspect, :yaml is passed to this method.

  unless [:string, :inspect, :yaml].include? f
    raise ArgumentError, "unknown object format '#{f}'"
  end

  module_eval "OBJ_FORMAT = :#{f}", __FILE__, __LINE__
end

.globally(name = :logger) ⇒ Object

call-seq:

include Logging.globally
include Logging.globally( :logger )

Add a “logger” method to the including context. If included from Object or Kernel, the logger method will be available to all objects.

Optionally, a method name can be given and that will be used to provided access to the logger:

include Logging.globally( :log )
log.info "Just using a shorter method name"

If you prefer to use the shorter “log” to access the logger.

Example

include Logging.globally

class Foo
  logger.debug "Loading the Foo class"
  def initialize
    logger.info "Creating some new foo"
  end
end

logger.fatal "End of example"

def globally( name = :logger )
  Module.new {
    eval "def #{name}() @_logging_logger ||= ::Logging::Logger[self] end"
  }
end

.init(*args) ⇒ Object

call-seq:

Logging.init( levels )

Defines the levels available to the loggers. The levels is an array of strings and symbols. Each element in the array is downcased and converted to a symbol; these symbols are used to create the logging methods in the loggers.

The first element in the array is the lowest logging level. Setting the logging level to this value will enable all log messages. The last element in the array is the highest logging level. Setting the logging level to this value will disable all log messages except this highest level.

This method should only be invoked once to configure the logging levels. It is automatically invoked with the default logging levels when the first logger is created.

The levels “all” and “off” are reserved and will be ignored if passed to this method.

Example:

Logging.init :debug, :info, :warn, :error, :fatal
log = Logging::Logger['my logger']
log.level = :warn
log.warn 'Danger! Danger! Will Robinson'
log.info 'Just FYI'                        # => not logged

or

Logging.init %w(DEBUG INFO NOTICE WARNING ERR CRIT ALERT EMERG)
log = Logging::Logger['syslog']
log.level = :notice
log.warning 'This is your first warning'
log.info 'Just FYI'                        # => not logged

end

.logger(*args) ⇒ Object

call-seq:

Logging.logger( device, age = 7, size = 1048576 )
Logging.logger( device, age = 'weekly' )

This convenience method returns a Logger instance configured to behave similarly to a core Ruby Logger instance.

The device is the logging destination. This can be a filename (String) or an IO object (STDERR, STDOUT, an open File, etc.). The age is the number of old log files to keep or the frequency of rotation (daily, weekly, or monthly). The size is the maximum logfile size and is only used when age is a number.

Using the same device twice will result in the same Logger instance being returned. For example, if a Logger is created using STDOUT then the same Logger instance will be returned the next time STDOUT is used. A new Logger instance can be obtained by closing the previous logger instance.

log1 = Logging.logger(STDOUT)
log2 = Logging.logger(STDOUT)
log1.object_id == log2.object_id  #=> true

log1.close
log2 = Logging.logger(STDOUT)
log1.object_id == log2.object_id  #=> false

The format of the log messages can be changed using a few optional parameters. The :pattern can be used to change the log message format. The :date_pattern can be used to change how timestamps are formatted.

log = Logging.logger(STDOUT,
          :pattern => "[%d] %-5l : %m\n",
          :date_pattern => "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%s")

See the documentation for the Logging::Layouts::Pattern class for a full description of the :pattern and :date_pattern formatting strings.

.show_configuration(io = STDOUT, logger = 'root', indent = 0) ⇒ Object

call-seq:

show_configuration( io = STDOUT, logger = 'root' )

This method is used to show the configuration of the logging framework. The information is written to the given io stream (defaulting to stdout). Normally the configuration is dumped starting with the root logger, but any logger name can be given.

Each line contains information for a single logger and it’s appenders. A child logger is indented two spaces from it’s parent logger. Each line contains the logger name, level, additivity, and trace settings. Here is a brief example:

root  ...........................   *info      -T
  LoggerA  ......................    info  +A  -T
    LoggerA::LoggerB  ...........    info  +A  -T
    LoggerA::LoggerC  ...........  *debug  +A  -T
  LoggerD  ......................   *warn  -A  +T

The lines can be deciphered as follows:

1) name       - the name of the logger

2) level      - the logger level; if it is preceeded by an
                asterisk then the level was explicitly set for that
                logger (as opposed to being inherited from the parent
                logger)

3) additivity - a "+A" shows the logger is additive, and log events
                will be passed up to the parent logger; "-A" shows
                that the logger will *not* pass log events up to the
                parent logger

4) trace      - a "+T" shows that the logger will include trace
                information in generated log events (this includes
                filename and line number of the log message; "-T"
                shows that the logger does not include trace
                information in the log events)

If a logger has appenders then they are listed, on per line, immediately below the logger. Appender lines are pre-pended with a single dash:

root  ...........................   *info      -T
- <Appenders::Stdout:0x8b02a4 name="stdout">
  LoggerA  ......................    info  +A  -T
    LoggerA::LoggerB  ...........    info  +A  -T
    LoggerA::LoggerC  ...........  *debug  +A  -T
  LoggerD  ......................   *warn  -A  +T
  - <Appenders::Stderr:0x8b04ca name="stderr">

We can see in this configuration dump that all the loggers will append to stdout via the Stdout appender configured in the root logger. All the loggers are additive, and so their generated log events will be passed up to the root logger.

The exception in this configuration is LoggerD. Its additivity is set to false. It uses its own appender to send messages to stderr.
