Implementations

impl<F> Logger<F>

where F: Formatter,

pub fn new(formatter: F, host: &str, app: &str) -> Logger<F>

Create a logger class with the specified command, the name of the host, and the name of the application. Note that the logger takes ownership of the formatter. If you will later need to examine the internals of the formatter, it is available at logger.formatter.

pub fn log(&self, msgtype: &str, msg: HashMap<String, Value>)

Write a message to the log. msgtype is any arbitrary string, but it should be meaningful to the data provided in msg so that downstream parsers know how to interpret the message.

pub fn log_mut(&mut self, msgtype: &str, msg: HashMap<String, Value>)

A mutable version of log. This uses the format_mut method on the formatter.
