Logger configuration

Default

This is the only logger added by default

[log.stdout]
type = "stdout"
level = "INFO"
use_ansi = true

This prints all logs at the INFO level or above to stdout, with ansi colouring

Format

The log key is a table of each logger. The keys are mostly irrelevant, it’s really only used for logging. The properties are

• type (stdout or file)
  The logger type. stdout logs to stdout, while file logs to a provided location

• level (ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG, TRACE case insensitively) The minimum level to log. The levels are (in order)

  1. ERROR Critical errors
  2. WARN General warnings
  3. INFO Relatively unimportant but nice info
  4. DEBUG Slightly noisier logs that are mostly useful for debugging
  5. TRACE Really noisy logs. You probably shouldn’t ever print these to stdout.

  e.g. if you set it to INFO, it’ll print logs with the levels INFO, WARN, and ERROR.

• use_ansi (true / false) If true, prints out logs with ANSI colours. You probably shouldn’t use this when logging to files.

• env_filter (optional string) An envfilter to apply to the data. For more info, see tracing_subscriber’s docs

• path (only when type is file) The path to output the logs to
