Detailed Description

Logger Class.

This class is the main class used for logging. Use comprises:

Constructing a logger by instantiating it with a specific name. (If the same logger is in multiple functions within a file, overhead can be minimized by declaring it as a file-wide static variable.)
Using the error(), info() etc. methods to log an error. (However, it is recommended to use the LOG_ERROR, LOG_INFO etc. macros defined in macros.h. These will avoid the potentially-expensive evaluation of arguments if the severity is such that the message will be suppressed.)

Member Typedef Documentation

typedef isc::log::Formatter<Logger> isc::log::Logger::Formatter

The formatter used to replace placeholders.

Definition at line 191 of file log/logger.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

isc::log::Logger::Logger ( const char * name )

inline

Constructor.

Creates/attaches to a logger of a specific name.

Parameters

name	Name of the logger. If the name is that of the root name, this creates an instance of the root logger; otherwise it creates a child of the root logger.

Note: The name of the logger may be no longer than MAX_LOGGER_NAME_SIZE else the program will throw an exception. This restriction allows loggers to be declared statically: the name is stored in a fixed-size array to avoid the need to allocate heap storage during program initialization (which causes problems on some operating systems).; Note also that there is no constructor taking a std::string. This minimizes the possibility of initializing a static logger with a string, so leading to problems mentioned above.

Definition at line 163 of file log/logger.h.

References isc_throw, and MAX_LOGGER_NAME_SIZE.

isc::log::Logger::~Logger ( )

virtual

Destructor.

Definition at line 51 of file log/logger.cc.

Member Function Documentation

Logger::Formatter isc::log::Logger::debug	(	int	dbglevel,
		const MessageID &	ident
	)

Output Debug Message.

Parameters

dbglevel	Debug level, ranging between 0 and 99. Higher numbers are used for more verbose output.
ident	Message identification.

Definition at line 151 of file log/logger.cc.

References isc::log::DEBUG.

Logger::Formatter isc::log::Logger::error ( const MessageID & ident )

Output Error Message.

Parameters

ident Message identification.

Definition at line 181 of file log/logger.cc.

References isc::log::ERROR.

Referenced by isc::log::LoggerManager::readLocalMessageFile().

Logger::Formatter isc::log::Logger::fatal ( const MessageID & ident )

Output Fatal Message.

Parameters

ident Message identification.

Definition at line 191 of file log/logger.cc.

References isc::log::FATAL.

int isc::log::Logger::getDebugLevel ( )

virtual

Return DEBUG Level.

Returns: Current setting of debug level. This is returned regardless of whether the severity is set to debug.

Definition at line 97 of file log/logger.cc.

int isc::log::Logger::getEffectiveDebugLevel ( )

virtual

Get Effective Debug Level for Logger.

Returns: The effective debug level of the logger. This is the same as getDebugLevel() if the logger has a debug level set, but otherwise is the debug level of the parent.

Definition at line 105 of file log/logger.cc.

isc::log::Severity isc::log::Logger::getEffectiveSeverity ( )

virtual

Get Effective Severity Level for Logger.

Returns: The effective severity level of the logger. This is the same as getSeverity() if the logger has a severity level set, but otherwise is the severity of the parent.

Definition at line 90 of file log/logger.cc.

std::string isc::log::Logger::getName ( )

virtual

Get Name of Logger.

Returns: The full name of the logger (including the root name)

Definition at line 69 of file log/logger.cc.

isc::log::Severity isc::log::Logger::getSeverity ( )

virtual

Get Severity Level for Logger.

Returns: The current logging level of this logger. In most cases though, the effective logging level is what is required.

Definition at line 83 of file log/logger.cc.

References isc::log::getSeverity().

Here is the call graph for this function:

std::string isc::log::Logger::getVersion ( )

static

Version.

Definition at line 62 of file log/logger.cc.

Referenced by isc::process::DControllerBase::getVersion().

Logger::Formatter isc::log::Logger::info ( const MessageID & ident )

Output Informational Message.

Parameters

ident Message identification.

Definition at line 161 of file log/logger.cc.

References isc::log::INFO.

Referenced by isc::log::LoggerManager::readLocalMessageFile().

bool isc::log::Logger::isDebugEnabled ( int dbglevel = MIN_DEBUG_LEVEL )

virtual

Returns if Debug Message Should Be Output.

Parameters

dbglevel Level for which debugging is checked. Debugging is enabled only if the logger has DEBUG enabled and if the dbglevel checked is less than or equal to the debug level set for the logger.

Definition at line 112 of file log/logger.cc.

bool isc::log::Logger::isErrorEnabled ( )

virtual

Is ERROR Enabled?

Definition at line 127 of file log/logger.cc.

bool isc::log::Logger::isFatalEnabled ( )

virtual

Is FATAL Enabled?

Definition at line 132 of file log/logger.cc.

bool isc::log::Logger::isInfoEnabled ( )

virtual

Is INFO Enabled?

Definition at line 117 of file log/logger.cc.

bool isc::log::Logger::isWarnEnabled ( )

virtual

Is WARNING Enabled?

Definition at line 122 of file log/logger.cc.

bool isc::log::Logger::operator== ( Logger & other )

Equality.

Check if two instances of this logger refer to the same stream.

Returns: true if the logger objects are instances of the same logger.

Definition at line 210 of file log/logger.cc.

void isc::log::Logger::setInterprocessSync ( isc::log::interprocess::InterprocessSync * sync )

Replace the interprocess synchronization object.

If this method is called with null as the argument, it throws a BadInterprocessSync exception.

Note: This method is intended to be used only within this log library and its tests. Normal application shouldn't use it (in fact, normal application shouldn't even be able to instantiate InterprocessSync objects).

Parameters

sync	The logger uses this synchronization object for synchronizing output of log messages. It should be deletable and the ownership is transferred to the logger. If null is passed, a BadInterprocessSync exception is thrown.

void isc::log::Logger::setSeverity	(	isc::log::Severity	severity,
		int	dbglevel = `1`
	)

virtual

Set Severity Level for Logger.

Sets the level at which this logger will log messages. If none is set, the level is inherited from the parent.

Parameters

severity	Severity level to log
dbglevel	If the severity is DEBUG, this is the debug level. This can be in the range 1 to 100 and controls the verbosity. A value outside these limits is silently coerced to the nearest boundary.

Definition at line 76 of file log/logger.cc.

Logger::Formatter isc::log::Logger::warn ( const MessageID & ident )

Output Warning Message.

Parameters

ident Message identification.

Definition at line 171 of file log/logger.cc.

References isc::log::WARN.

Referenced by isc::log::LoggerManager::readLocalMessageFile().
