logsley

This is an opinionated Rust logging library.

Features

• Configure the logger with one function call
• Thread scoped variables
• Task scoped variables, with the async feature enabled
• See logging output from tests
• Works with libraries that use log, slog, slog-scope, and slog-scope-futures.
• Logs JSON by default. Set DEV_LOG_FORMAT=full env var to get pretty output in your terminal.
• Adjust logging verbosity of modules with simple string parameter, and override it with the RUST_LOG env var. Example: RUST_LOG=some::spammy::module=warn,my::buggy::module=trace. See slog-envlogger for details.
• Approved by Sir Robin of Logsley:
  

Limitations

• Uses macros

Examples

// You should do logging like this.

let _global_logger_guard =
  logsley::configure("info").unwrap();
logsley::thread_scope("main", || {
  // Log named values:
  logsley::error!("err {}", 1; "x" => 2);
  // {"time_ns":1604899904064111000,
  // "time":"2020-11-08T21:31:44.064-08:00",
  // "module":"opinion",
  // "level":"ERROR",
  // "message":"err 1",
  // "thread":"main",
  // "x":2}
  logsley::warn!("warn {}", 1; "x" => 2);
  logsley::info!("info {}", 1; "x" => 2);
  logsley::debug!("debug {}", 1; "x" => 2);
  logsley::trace!("trace {}", 1; "x" => 2);

  // Log simple messages:
  log::info!("log {}", 1);
  // {"time_ns":1604899904065070000,
  // "time":"2020-11-08T21:31:44.065-08:00",
  // "module":"opinion",
  // "level":"INFO",
  // "message":"log 1",
  // "thread":"main"}

  std::thread::spawn(|| {
    logsley::thread_scope("thread1", || {
      logsley::info!("in thread {}", 1; "x" => 2);
  })})
  .join()
  .unwrap();
  // {"time_ns":1604899904065111000,
  // "time":"2020-11-08T21:31:44.065-08:00",
  // "module":"opinion",

  // "thread":"thread1",
  // "x":2}

      logsley::info!(
        "logsley in task {}", 1; "x" => 2);
  }));

For a runnable example, see examples/opinion.rs.

Set the default log level to info. The program will emit log messages with level info and higher.

let _global_logger_guard = logsley::configure("info");
log::error!("emitted");
log::warn!("emitted");
log::info!("emitted");
log::debug!("not emitted");
log::trace!("not emitted");

Set the default log level to info and set the level for chatty::module1 to warn.

let _global_logger_guard =
    logsley::configure("info,chatty::module1=warn");

Use the environment variable to override default log level. module1 still gets its special log level.

std::env::set_var("RUST_LOG", "debug");
let _global_logger_guard =
    logsley::configure("info,module1=warn");

Use the environment variable to set module1 to debug.

std::env::set_var("RUST_LOG", "module1=debug");
let _global_logger_guard =
    logsley::configure("info");
