logthru

Name

logthru — service plugin for a stdout/file logger

Description

logthru registers a “log_info” service function. Log messages sent to this API will be emitted without delay to stdout or a file of choice. When programs are run under the control of systemd (i.e. have been started with systemctl), journald will take care of capture, storage and periodic log rotation.

logthru is the default logging plugin for all Gromox services.

Configuration directives

The usual config file location is /etc/gromox/log_plugin.cfg.

log_file_name

Path to the file where log messages will be appended to. Setting this to the empty value implies that logging will go to stdout.

Default: (stdout)

log_level

Controls which messages will be shown. Messages with a equal or higher severity (lower numeric value) will pass, messages with lower severity (higher numeric value) will be suppressed. The levels used in practice are: critical (2), error (3), warning (4), notice/info (5), debug (6).

Default: 4
