# simple_logger [](https://github.com/borntyping/rust-simple_logger/tags) [](https://travis-ci.org/borntyping/rust-simple_logger) [](https://github.com/borntyping/rust-simple_logger/issues)
A logger that prints all messages with a readable output format.
The output format is based on the format used by [Supervisord](http://supervisord.org/).
Future updates may include coulored output based on the log level of the message and selecting a `max_log_level` based on the value of an input string (e.g. from a flag parsed by [docopt](https://github.com/docopt/docopt.rs)).
Usage
-----
```rust
#[macro_use]
extern crate log;
extern crate simple_logger;
fn main() {
simple_logger::init();
warn!("This is an example message.");
}
```
This outputs:
```
2015-02-24 01:05:20 WARN [logging_example] This is an example message.
```
You can run the above example with:
```bash
cargo run --example logging_example
```
