Detailed Description

Defines methods available to clients that want to write a log message to their Geode system's shared log file.

This class must be initialized prior to its use: Log::init

For any logged message the log file will contain:

• The message's level.
• The time the message was logged.
• The id of the connection and thread that logged the message.
• The message itself which can be a const char* (perhaps with an exception including the exception's stack trace.

A message always has a level. Logging levels are ordered. Enabling logging at a given level also enables logging at higher levels. The higher the level the more important and urgent the message.

The levels, in descending order of severity, are:

• error (highest severity) is a message level indicating a serious failure. In general error messages should describe events that are of considerable importance and which will prevent normal program execution. They should be reasonably intelligible to end users and to system administrators.

• warning is a message level indicating a potential problem. In general warning messages should describe events that will be of interest to end users or system managers, or which indicate potential problems.

• info is a message level for informational messages. Typically info messages should be reasonably significant and should make sense to end users and system administrators.

• config is a message level for static configuration messages. config messages are intended to provide a variety of static configuration information, to assist in debugging problems that may be associated with particular configurations.

• fine is a message level providing tracing information. In general the fine level should be used for information that will be broadly interesting to developers. This level is for the lowest volume, and most important, tracing messages.

• finer indicates a moderately detailed tracing message. This is an intermediate level between fine and finest.

• finest indicates a very detailed tracing message. Logging calls for entering, returning, or throwing an exception are traced at the finest level.

• debug (lowest severity) indicates a highly detailed tracing message. In general the debug level should be used for the most voluminous detailed tracing messages.

For each level methods exist that will request a message, at that level, to be logged. These methods are all named after their level.

For each level a method exists that indicates if messages at that level will currently be logged. The names of these methods are of the form: levelEnabled.

static char* apache::geode::client::Log::formatLogLine ( char *  buf, LogLevel  level  )

static

Fills the provided buffer with formatted log-line given the level and returns the buffer.

This assumes that the buffer has large enough space left to hold the formatted log-line (around 70 chars).

This is provided so that applications wishing to use the same format as Geode log-lines can do so easily. A log-line starts with the prefix given below which is filled in by this method: [<level> <date> <time> <timezone> <host>:<process id>=""> <thread id>="">]

This method is not thread-safe for the first invocation. When invoking from outside either <init> should have been invoked, or at least the first invocation should be single-threaded.
