captains-log

A light-weight customizable logger implementation for rust

Features

• Allow customize log format and time format.

• Supports signal listening for log-rotate.

• Supports multiple log files, each with its own log level.

• Supports hook on panic.

• On default supports multi-process/thread/coroutine log into the same file. Atomic line appending can be done on Linux

• Provides LogFilter for fine-grain control to log level.

• Provides LogFilterKV for API logging with additional key. For example, you can set req_id in LogFilterKV, and track the complete request handling procedure from log.

• For test suits usage:

  Allow dynamic reconfigure logger setting in different test function. (NOTE: currently signal_listener does not support reconfigure).

  Provides an attribute macro #[logfn] to wrap test function. Logging test-start and test-end.

Dependency

[dependencies]
log = { version = "0.4", features = ["std", "kv_unstable"] }
captains_log = "0.2"

Fast setup example:

You can refer to various preset recipe in recipe module, including console & file output.

// #[macro_use]
// extern crate captains_log;
// #[macro_use]
// extern crate log;

use log::{debug, info, error};
use captains_log::recipe::split_error_file_logger;

let log_builder = split_error_file_logger("/tmp", "test", log::Level::Debug);
log_builder.build();

// non-error msg will only appear in /tmp/test.log
debug!("Set a course to Sol system");
info!("Engage");

// will appear in both /tmp/test.log and /tmp/test.log.wf
error!("Engine over heat!");

Customize format example

extern crate signal_hook;
extern crate chrono;
use captains_log::*;

fn format_f(r: FormatRecord) -> String {
    let time = r.time();
    let level = r.level();
    let file = r.file();
    let line = r.line();
    let msg = r.msg();
    format!("{time}|{level}|{file}:{line}|{msg}\n").to_string()
}
let debug_format = LogFormat::new(
    "%Y%m%d %H:%M:%S%.6f",
    format_f,
);
let debug_file = LogFile::new(
    "/tmp", "test.log", log::Level::Trace, debug_format);
let config = Builder::default()
    .signal(signal_hook::consts::SIGINT)
    .file(debug_file);

config.build();

Fine-grain module-level log control

Place LogFilter in Arc and share among coroutines. Log level can be changed on-the-fly.

use std::sync::Arc;
use captains_log::*;
log::set_max_level(log::LevelFilter::Debug);
let logger_io = Arc::new(LogFilter::new());
let logger_req = Arc::new(LogFilter::new());
logger_io.set_level(log::Level::Error);
logger_req.set_level(log::Level::Debug);
logger_debug!(logger_req, "Begin handle req ...");
logger_debug!(logger_io, "Issue io to disk ...");
logger_error!(logger_req, "Req invalid ...");

API-level log handling

Request log can be track by custom key req_id, which kept in LogFilterKV.

use captains_log::*;
fn debug_format_req_id_f(r: FormatRecord) -> String {
    let time = r.time();
    let level = r.level();
    let file = r.file();
    let line = r.line();
    let msg = r.msg();
    let req_id = r.key("req_id");
    format!("[{time}][{level}][{file}:{line}] {msg}{req_id}\n").to_string()
}
let builder = recipe::file_logger_custom("/tmp", "log_filter", log::Level::Debug,
    recipe::DEFAULT_TIME, debug_format_req_id_f);
builder.build().expect("setup_log");
let logger = LogFilterKV::new("req_id", format!("{:016x}", 123).to_string());
logger_debug!(logger, "Req / received");
logger_debug!(logger, "header xxx");
logger_info!(logger, "Req / 200 complete");
