Struct tracing_subscriber::fmt::Layer[][src]

pub struct Layer<S, N = DefaultFields, E = Format<Full>, W = fn() -> Stdout> { /* fields omitted */ }
This is supported on crate feature fmt only.
Expand description

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

👎 Deprecated since 0.2.4:

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

Returns a new LayerBuilder for configuring a Layer.

Returns a new Layer with the default configuration.

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());

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);

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();

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.

Do not emit timestamps with spans and event.

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::NEW: An event will be synthesized when spans are created.
  • FmtSpan::ENTER: An event will be synthesized when spans are entered.
  • FmtSpan::EXIT: An event will be synthesized when spans are 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::ACTIVE: Events will be synthesized when spans are entered or exited.
  • 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.

The options can be enabled in any combination. For instance, the following will synthesize events whenever spans are created and closed:

use tracing_subscriber::fmt;
use tracing_subscriber::fmt::format::FmtSpan;

let subscriber = fmt()
    .with_span_events(FmtSpan::NEW | FmtSpan::CLOSE)
    .finish();

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.

This is supported on crate feature ansi only.

Enable ANSI encoding for formatted events.

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

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

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

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

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

This is supported on crate feature ansi only.

Sets the layer being built to use an excessively pretty, human-readable formatter.

This is supported on crate feature 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"}}

Options

This is supported on crate feature json only.

Sets the JSON layer being built to flatten event metadata.

See format::Json

This is supported on crate feature json only.

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

See format::Json

This is supported on crate feature json only.

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

See format::Json

Sets the field formatter that the layer being built will use to record fields.

LayerBuilder is no longer a separate type; this method is not necessary
