class Logger

Overview

The Logger class provides a simple but sophisticated logging utility that you can use to output messages.

The messages have associated levels, such as INFO or ERROR that indicate their importance. You can then give the Logger a level, and only messages at that level or higher will be printed.

For instance, in a production system, you may have your Logger set to INFO or even WARN. When you are developing the system, however, you probably want to know about the program’s internal state, and would set the Logger to DEBUG.

Example

require "logger"

log = Logger.new(STDOUT)
log.level = Logger::WARN

# or
log = Logger.new(STDOUT, level: Logger::WARN)

log.debug("Created logger")
log.info("Program started")
log.warn("Nothing to do!")

begin
  File.each_line("/foo/bar.log") do |line|
    unless line =~ /^(\w+) = (.*)$/
      log.error("Line in wrong format: #{line}")
    end
  end
rescue err
  log.fatal("Caught exception; exiting")
  log.fatal(err)
end

If logging to multiple locations is required, an IO::MultiWriter can be used.

file = File.new("production.log", "a")
writer = IO::MultiWriter.new(file, STDOUT)

log = Logger.new(writer)
log.level = Logger::DEBUG
log.debug("Created logger")

DEPRECATED Use Log module instead

Defined in:

logger.cr

Constructor Detail

def self.new(io : IO?, level = Severity::INFO, formatter = DEFAULT_FORMATTER, progname = "")Source

Creates a new logger that will log to the given io. If io is nil then all log calls will be silently ignored.

DEPRECATED Use Log module instead

Instance Method Detail

def closeSource

Calls the close method on the object passed to initialize.

def debug(progname = nil, &)Source

Logs the message as returned from the given block if the logger's current severity is lower or equal to DEBUG. The block is not run if the severity is higher. progname overrides a default progname set in this logger.

def debug(message, progname = nil)Source

Logs message if the logger's current severity is lower or equal to DEBUG. progname overrides a default progname set in this logger.

def debug?Source

Returns true if the logger's current severity is lower or equal to DEBUG.

def error(progname = nil, &)Source

Logs the message as returned from the given block if the logger's current severity is lower or equal to ERROR. The block is not run if the severity is higher. progname overrides a default progname set in this logger.

def error(message, progname = nil)Source

Logs message if the logger's current severity is lower or equal to ERROR. progname overrides a default progname set in this logger.

def error?Source

Returns true if the logger's current severity is lower or equal to ERROR.

def fatal(progname = nil, &)Source

Logs the message as returned from the given block if the logger's current severity is lower or equal to FATAL. The block is not run if the severity is higher. progname overrides a default progname set in this logger.

def fatal(message, progname = nil)Source

Logs message if the logger's current severity is lower or equal to FATAL. progname overrides a default progname set in this logger.

def fatal?Source

Returns true if the logger's current severity is lower or equal to FATAL.

def formatter : Logger::Severity, Time, String, String, IO -> NilSource

Customizable Proc (with a reasonable default) which the Logger uses to format and print its entries.

Use this setter to provide a custom formatter. The Logger will invoke it with the following arguments:

  • severity: a Logger::Severity
  • datetime: Time, the entry's timestamp
  • progname: String, the program name, if set when the logger was built
  • message: String, the body of a message
  • io: IO, the Logger's stream, to which you must write the final output

Example:

require "logger"

logger = Logger.new(STDOUT)
logger.progname = "YodaBot"

logger.formatter = Logger::Formatter.new do |severity, datetime, progname, message, io|
  label = severity.unknown? ? "ANY" : severity.to_s
  io << label[0] << ", [" << datetime << " #" << Process.pid << "] "
  io << label.rjust(5) << " -- " << progname << ": " << message
end

logger.warn("Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.")

# Prints to the console:
# "W, [2017-05-06 18:00:41 -0300 #11927]  WARN --
#  YodaBot: Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering."

def formatter=(formatter)Source

Customizable Proc (with a reasonable default) which the Logger uses to format and print its entries.

Use this setter to provide a custom formatter. The Logger will invoke it with the following arguments:

  • severity: a Logger::Severity
  • datetime: Time, the entry's timestamp
  • progname: String, the program name, if set when the logger was built
  • message: String, the body of a message
  • io: IO, the Logger's stream, to which you must write the final output

Example:

require "logger"

logger = Logger.new(STDOUT)
logger.progname = "YodaBot"

logger.formatter = Logger::Formatter.new do |severity, datetime, progname, message, io|
  label = severity.unknown? ? "ANY" : severity.to_s
  io << label[0] << ", [" << datetime << " #" << Process.pid << "] "
  io << label.rjust(5) << " -- " << progname << ": " << message
end

logger.warn("Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.")

# Prints to the console:
# "W, [2017-05-06 18:00:41 -0300 #11927]  WARN --
#  YodaBot: Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering."

def level : SeveritySource
