Struct tracing_subscriber::fmt::Layer

pub struct Layer<S, N = DefaultFields, E = Format<Full>, W = fn() -> Stdout> { /* fields omitted */ }

This is supported on crate feature fmt only.

A Layer that logs formatted representations of tracing events.

Examples

Constructing a layer with the default configuration:

use tracing_subscriber::{fmt, Registry};
use tracing_subscriber::prelude::*;

let subscriber = Registry::default()
    .with(fmt::Layer::default());

tracing::subscriber::set_global_default(subscriber).unwrap();

Overriding the layer's behavior:

use tracing_subscriber::{fmt, Registry};
use tracing_subscriber::prelude::*;

let fmt_layer = fmt::layer()
   .with_target(false) // don't include event targets when logging
   .with_level(false); // don't include event levels when logging

let subscriber = Registry::default().with(fmt_layer);

Setting a custom event formatter:

use tracing_subscriber::fmt::{self, format, time};
use tracing_subscriber::prelude::*;

let fmt = format().with_timer(time::Uptime::default());
let fmt_layer = fmt::layer()
    .event_format(fmt)
    .with_target(false);

Implementations

impl<S> Layer<S>

pub fn builder() -> LayerBuilder<S>

👎 Deprecated since 0.2.4:

a separate layer builder is not necessary, use Layer::new/Layer::default instead

This is supported on crate feature fmt only.

Returns a new LayerBuilder for configuring a Layer.

pub fn new() -> Self

This is supported on crate feature fmt only.

Returns a new Layer with the default configuration.

impl<S, N, E, W> Layer<S, N, E, W> where
    S: Subscriber + for<'a> LookupSpan<'a>,
    N: for<'writer> FormatFields<'writer> + 'static,
    W: MakeWriter + 'static, 

pub fn event_format<E2>(self, e: E2) -> Layer<S, N, E2, W> where
    E2: FormatEvent<S, N> + 'static, 

This is supported on crate feature fmt only.

Sets the event formatter that the layer will use to format events.

The event formatter may be any type implementing the FormatEvent trait, which is implemented for all functions taking a FmtContext, a &mut dyn Write, and an Event.

Examples

Setting a type implementing FormatEvent as the formatter:

use tracing_subscriber::fmt::{self, format};

let layer = fmt::layer()
    .event_format(format().compact());

impl<S, N, E, W> Layer<S, N, E, W>

pub fn with_writer<W2>(self, make_writer: W2) -> Layer<S, N, E, W2> where
    W2: MakeWriter + 'static, 

This is supported on crate feature fmt only.

Sets the MakeWriter that the Layer being built will use to write events.

Examples

Using stderr rather than stdout:

use std::io;
use tracing_subscriber::fmt;

let layer = fmt::layer()
    .with_writer(io::stderr);

pub fn with_test_writer(self) -> Layer<S, N, E, TestWriter>

This is supported on crate feature fmt only.

Configures the subscriber to support libtest's output capturing when used in unit tests.

See TestWriter for additional details.

Examples

Using TestWriter to let cargo test capture test output:

use std::io;
use tracing_subscriber::fmt;

let layer = fmt::layer()
    .with_test_writer();

impl<S, N, L, T, W> Layer<S, N, Format<L, T>, W> where
    N: for<'writer> FormatFields<'writer> + 'static, 

pub fn with_timer<T2>(self, timer: T2) -> Layer<S, N, Format<L, T2>, W>

This is supported on crate feature fmt only.

Use the given timer for span and event timestamps.

See time for the provided timer implementations.

Note that using the chrono feature flag enables the additional time formatters ChronoUtc and ChronoLocal.

pub fn without_time(self) -> Layer<S, N, Format<L, ()>, W>

This is supported on crate feature fmt only.

Do not emit timestamps with spans and event.

pub fn with_span_events(self, kind: FmtSpan) -> Self

This is supported on crate feature fmt only.

Configures how synthesized events are emitted at points in the span lifecycle.

The following options are available:

• FmtSpan::NONE: No events will be synthesized when spans are created, entered, exited, or closed. Data from spans will still be included as the context for formatted events. This is the default.
• FmtSpan::ACTIVE: Events will be synthesized when spans are entered or exited.
• FmtSpan::CLOSE: An event will be synthesized when a span closes. If timestamps are enabled for this formatter, the generated event will contain fields with the span's busy time (the total time for which it was entered) and idle time (the total time that the span existed but was not entered).
• FmtSpan::FULL: Events will be synthesized whenever a span is created, entered, exited, or closed. If timestamps are enabled, the close event will contain the span's busy and idle time, as described above.

Note that the generated events will only be part of the log output by this formatter; they will not be recorded by other Subscribers or by Layers added to this subscriber.

pub fn with_ansi(self, ansi: bool) -> Layer<S, N, Format<L, T>, W>

This is supported on crate features fmt and ansi only.

Enable ANSI encoding for formatted events.

pub fn with_target(self, display_target: bool) -> Layer<S, N, Format<L, T>, W>

This is supported on crate feature fmt only.

Sets whether or not an event's target is displayed.

pub fn with_level(self, display_level: bool) -> Layer<S, N, Format<L, T>, W>

This is supported on crate feature fmt only.

Sets whether or not an event's level is displayed.

pub fn with_thread_ids(
    self,
    display_thread_ids: bool
) -> Layer<S, N, Format<L, T>, W>

This is supported on crate feature fmt only.

Sets whether or not the thread ID of the current thread is displayed when formatting events

pub fn with_thread_names(
    self,
    display_thread_names: bool
) -> Layer<S, N, Format<L, T>, W>

This is supported on crate feature fmt only.

Sets whether or not the name of the current thread is displayed when formatting events

pub fn compact(self) -> Layer<S, N, Format<Compact, T>, W> where
    N: for<'writer> FormatFields<'writer> + 'static, 

This is supported on crate feature fmt only.

Sets the layer being built to use a less verbose formatter.

pub fn json(self) -> Layer<S, JsonFields, Format<Json, T>, W>

This is supported on crate features fmt and json only.

Sets the layer being built to use a JSON formatter.

The full format includes fields from all entered spans.

Example Output

{"timestamp":"Feb 20 11:28:15.096","level":"INFO","target":"mycrate","fields":{"message":"some message", "key": "value"}}
