Struct JsonLayer

pub struct JsonLayer<S: for<'lookup> LookupSpan<'lookup> = Registry, W = fn() -> Stdout> { /* private fields */ }

Layer that implements logging JSON to a configured output. This is a lower-level API that may change a bit in next versions.

See fmt::Layer for an alternative especially if you’re migrating from tracing_subscriber.

Implementations

impl<S> JsonLayer<S>

where S: Subscriber + for<'lookup> LookupSpan<'lookup>,

pub fn stdout() -> JsonLayer<S, fn() -> Stdout>

Creates an empty JsonLayer which will output logs to stdout.

pub fn stderr() -> JsonLayer<S, fn() -> Stderr>

Creates an empty JsonLayer which will output logs to stderr.

pub fn new<W>(make_writer: W) -> JsonLayer<S, W>

where W: for<'writer> MakeWriter<'writer> + 'static,

Creates an empty JsonLayer which will output logs to the configured Writer.

impl<S, W> JsonLayer<S, W>

where S: Subscriber + for<'lookup> LookupSpan<'lookup>,

pub fn with_writer<W2>(self, make_writer: W2) -> JsonLayer<S, W2>

where W2: for<'writer> MakeWriter<'writer> + 'static,

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

Examples

Using stderr rather than stdout:

let layer = json_subscriber::JsonLayer::stdout()
    .with_writer(std::io::stderr);

pub fn writer(&self) -> &W

Borrows the writer for this subscriber.

pub fn writer_mut(&mut self) -> &mut W

Mutably borrows the writer for this subscriber.

This method is primarily expected to be used with the reload::Handle::modify method.

Examples

let layer = json_subscriber::JsonLayer::stdout().with_writer(non_blocking(std::io::stderr()));
let (layer, reload_handle) = reload::Layer::new(layer);

tracing_subscriber::registry().with(layer).init();

info!("This will be logged to stderr");
reload_handle.modify(|subscriber| *subscriber.writer_mut() = non_blocking(std::io::stdout()));
info!("This will be logged to stdout");

pub fn with_test_writer(self) -> JsonLayer<S, TestWriter>

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:

let layer = json_subscriber::JsonLayer::stdout()
    .with_test_writer();

pub fn log_internal_errors(&mut self, log_internal_errors: bool) -> &mut Self

Sets whether to write errors from FormatEvent to the writer. Defaults to true.

By default, fmt::JsonLayer will write any FormatEvent-internal errors to the writer. These errors are unlikely and will only occur if there is a bug in the FormatEvent implementation or its dependencies.

If writing to the writer fails, the error message is printed to stderr as a fallback.

pub fn map_writer<W2>(self, f: impl FnOnce(W) -> W2) -> JsonLayer<S, W2>

where W2: for<'writer> MakeWriter<'writer> + 'static,

Updates the MakeWriter by applying a function to the existing MakeWriter.

This sets the MakeWriter that the subscriber being built will use to write events.

Examples

Redirect output to stderr if level is <= WARN:

use tracing_subscriber::fmt::writer::MakeWriterExt;

let stderr = std::io::stderr.with_max_level(tracing::Level::WARN);
let layer = json_subscriber::JsonLayer::stdout()
    .map_writer(move |w| stderr.or_else(w));

pub fn add_static_field(&mut self, key: impl Into<String>, value: Value)

Adds a new static field with a given key to the output.

Examples

Print hostname in each log:

let mut layer = json_subscriber::JsonLayer::stdout();
layer.add_static_field(
    "hostname",
    serde_json::Value::String(get_hostname().to_owned()),
);

pub fn remove_field(&mut self, key: impl Into<String>)

Removes a field that was inserted to the output. This can only remove fields that have a static key, not keys added with add_multiple_dynamic_fields.

Examples

Add a field and then remove it:

let mut layer = json_subscriber::JsonLayer::stdout();
layer.add_static_field(
    "deleteMe",
    serde_json::json!("accident"),
);
layer.remove_field("deleteMe");

pub fn add_dynamic_field<Fun, Res>( &mut self, key: impl Into<String>, mapper: Fun, )

where for<'a> Fun: Fn(&'a Event<'_>, &Context<'_, S>) -> Option<Res> + Send + Sync + 'a, Res: Serialize,

Adds a new dynamic field with a given key to the output. This method is more general than add_static_field but also more expensive.

This method takes a closure argument that will be called with the event and tracing context. Through these, the parent span can be accessed among other things. This closure returns an Option where nothing will be added to the output if None is returned.

Examples

Print an atomic counter.

static COUNTER: AtomicU32 = AtomicU32::new(42);

let mut layer = json_subscriber::JsonLayer::stdout();
layer.add_dynamic_field(
    "counter",
    |_event, _context| {
        Some(serde_json::Value::Number(COUNTER.load(Ordering::Relaxed).into()))
});

pub fn add_multiple_dynamic_fields<Fun, Res>(&mut self, mapper: Fun)

where for<'a> Fun: Fn(&'a Event<'_>, &Context<'_, S>) -> Res + Send + Sync + 'a, Res: IntoIterator<Item = (String, Value)>,

Adds multiple new dynamic field where the keys may not be known when calling this method.

This method takes a closure argument that will be called with the event and tracing context. Through these, the parent span can be accessed among other things. This closure returns a value which can be iterated over to return a tuple of a String which will be used as a JSON key and a serde_json::Value which will be used as a value. In most cases returning HashMap<String, serde_json::Value> should be sufficient.

It is the user’s responsibility to make sure that no two keys clash as that would create an invalid JSON. It’s generally better to use add_dynamic_field instead if the field names are known.

Examples

Print either a question or an answer:

let mut layer = json_subscriber::JsonLayer::stdout();
layer.add_multiple_dynamic_fields(
    |_event, _context| {
        if condition {
            [("question".to_owned(), serde_json::Value::String("What?".to_owned()))]
        } else {
            [("answer".to_owned(), serde_json::Value::Number(42.into()))]
        }
});

pub fn add_from_span<Fun, Res>(&mut self, key: impl Into<String>, mapper: Fun)

where for<'a> Fun: Fn(&'a SpanRef<'_, S>) -> Option<Res> + Send + Sync + 'a, Res: Serialize,

Adds a new dynamic field with a given key to the output. This method is a specialized version of add_dynamic_field where just a reference to the parent span is needed.

This method takes a closure argument that will be called with the parent span context. This closure returns an Option where nothing will be added to the output if None is returned.

Examples

Print uppercase target:

let mut layer = json_subscriber::JsonLayer::stdout();
layer.add_from_span(
    "TARGET",
    |span| Some(span.metadata().target().to_uppercase())
);

pub fn serialize_extension<Ext: Serialize + 'static>( &mut self, key: impl Into<String>, )

Adds a field with a given key to the output. The value will be serialized JSON of the provided extension. Other Layers may add these extensions to the span.

The serialization happens every time a log line is emitted so if the extension changes, the latest version will be emitted.

If the extension is not found, nothing is added to the output.

Examples

struct FooLayer;

#[derive(Serialize)]
struct Foo(String);

impl<S: Subscriber + for<'lookup> LookupSpan<'lookup>> Layer<S> for FooLayer {
    fn on_new_span(&self, attrs: &Attributes<'_>, id: &Id, ctx: Context<'_, S>) {
        let span = ctx.span(id).unwrap();
        let mut extensions = span.extensions_mut();
        let foo = Foo("hello".to_owned());
        extensions.insert(foo);
    }
}

let foo_layer = FooLayer;

let mut layer = json_subscriber::JsonLayer::stdout();
layer.serialize_extension::<Foo>("foo");

registry().with(foo_layer).with(layer);

pub fn add_from_extension_ref<Ext, Fun, Res>( &mut self, key: impl Into<String>, mapper: Fun, )

where Ext: 'static, for<'a> Fun: Fn(&'a Ext) -> Option<&'a Res> + Send + Sync + 'a, Res: Serialize,

Adds a field with a given key to the output. The user-provided closure can transform the extension and return reference to any serializable structure.

The mapping and serialization happens every time a log line is emitted so if the extension changes, the latest version will be emitted.

If the extension is not found, or the mapping returns None, nothing is added to the output.

Use Self::add_from_extension if you cannot return a reference.

Examples

struct FooLayer;

#[derive(Serialize)]
struct Foo(String);

impl<S: Subscriber + for<'lookup> LookupSpan<'lookup>> Layer<S> for FooLayer {
    fn on_new_span(&self, attrs: &Attributes<'_>, id: &Id, ctx: Context<'_, S>) {
        let span = ctx.span(id).unwrap();
        let mut extensions = span.extensions_mut();
        let foo = Foo("hello".to_owned());
        extensions.insert(foo);
    }
}

let foo_layer = FooLayer;

let mut layer = json_subscriber::JsonLayer::stdout();
layer.add_from_extension_ref::<Foo, _, _>("foo", |foo| Some(&foo.0));

registry().with(foo_layer).with(layer);

pub fn add_from_extension<Ext, Fun, Res>( &mut self, key: impl Into<String>, mapper: Fun, )

where Ext: 'static, for<'a> Fun: Fn(&'a Ext) -> Option<Res> + Send + Sync + 'a, Res: Serialize,

Adds a field with a given key to the output. The user-provided closure can transform the extension and return any serializable structure.

The mapping and serialization happens every time a log line is emitted so if the extension changes, the latest version will be emitted.

If the extension is not found, or the mapping returns None, nothing is added to the output.

Use Self::add_from_extension_ref if you want to return a reference to data in the extension.

Examples

struct FooLayer;

#[derive(Serialize)]
struct Foo(String);

impl<S: Subscriber + for<'lookup> LookupSpan<'lookup>> Layer<S> for FooLayer {
    fn on_new_span(&self, attrs: &Attributes<'_>, id: &Id, ctx: Context<'_, S>) {
        let span = ctx.span(id).unwrap();
        let mut extensions = span.extensions_mut();
        let foo = Foo("hello".to_owned());
        extensions.insert(foo);
    }
}

let foo_layer = FooLayer;

let mut layer = json_subscriber::JsonLayer::stdout();
layer.add_from_extension::<Foo, _, _>("foo", |foo| foo.0.parse::<u64>().ok());

registry().with(foo_layer).with(layer);

pub fn with_event(&mut self, key: impl Into<String>) -> &mut Self

Print all event fields in an object with the key as specified.

pub fn with_top_level_flattened_current_span(&mut self) -> &mut Self

Print all current span fields, each as its own top level member of the JSON.

It is the user’s responsibility to make sure that the field names will not clash with other defined members of the output JSON. If they clash, invalid JSON with multiple fields with the same key may be generated.

It’s therefore preferable to use with_current_span instead.

pub fn with_top_level_flattened_span_list(&mut self) -> &mut Self

Print all parent spans’ fields, each as its own top level member of the JSON.

If multiple spans define the same field, the one furthest from the root span will be kept.

It is the user’s responsibility to make sure that the field names will not clash with other defined members of the output JSON. If they clash, invalid JSON with multiple fields with the same key may be generated.

It’s therefore preferable to use with_span_list instead.

pub fn with_flattened_event(&mut self) -> &mut Self

Print all event fields, each as its own top level member of the JSON.

It is the user’s responsibility to make sure that the field names will not clash with other defined members of the output JSON. If they clash, invalid JSON with multiple fields with the same key may be generated.

It’s therefore preferable to use with_event instead.

pub fn with_current_span(&mut self, key: impl Into<String>) -> &mut Self

Sets whether or not the log line will include the current span in formatted events.

pub fn with_span_list(&mut self, key: impl Into<String>) -> &mut Self

Sets whether or not the formatter will include a list (from root to leaf) of all currently entered spans in formatted events.

pub fn with_flattened_span_fields( &mut self, key: impl Into<String>, ) -> &mut Self

Sets the formatter to include an object containing all parent spans’ fields. If multiple ancestor spans recorded the same field, the span closer to the leaf span overrides the values of spans that are closer to the root spans.

pub fn with_timer<T: FormatTime + Send + Sync + 'static>( &mut self, key: impl Into<String>, timer: T, ) -> &mut Self

Use the given timer for log message timestamps with the timestamp key.

See the time module for the provided timer implementations.

pub fn with_target(&mut self, key: impl Into<String>) -> &mut Self

Sets whether or not an event’s target is displayed. It will use the target key if so.

pub fn with_file(&mut self, key: impl Into<String>) -> &mut Self

Sets whether or not an event’s source code file path is displayed. It will use the file key if so.

pub fn with_line_number(&mut self, key: impl Into<String>) -> &mut Self

Sets whether or not an event’s source code line number is displayed. It will use the line_number key if so.

pub fn with_level(&mut self, key: impl Into<String>) -> &mut Self

Sets whether or not an event’s level is displayed. It will use the level key if so.

pub fn with_thread_names(&mut self, key: impl Into<String>) -> &mut Self

Sets whether or not the name of the current thread is displayed when formatting events. It will use the threadName key if so.

pub fn with_thread_ids(&mut self, key: impl Into<String>) -> &mut Self

Sets whether or not the thread ID of the current thread is displayed when formatting events. It will use the threadId key if so.

pub fn with_opentelemetry_ids( &mut self, display_opentelemetry_ids: bool, ) -> &mut Self

Available on crate features opentelemetry or tracing-opentelemetry-0-28 or tracing-opentelemetry-0-29 or tracing-opentelemetry-0-30 or tracing-opentelemetry-0-31 only.

Sets whether or not OpenTelemetry trace ID and span ID is displayed when formatting events. It will use the openTelemetry key if so and the value will be an object with traceId and spanId fields, each being a string.

This works only if your tracing-opentelemetry version and this crate’s features match. If you update that dependency, you need to change the feature here or this call will do nothing.
