SimpleLogger

Looking for a simple logger for your C++ project? SimpleLogger might be for you.

Features

  • Based on RAII
  • Configurable level symbols
  • Datetime / EPOCH timestamps
  • Logging levels: Trace, Debug, Info, Warning, Error, Fatal
  • Log to file and/or console
  • Thread-safe
  • Uses streams (<< operator)
  • Very easy to use

Installation

Use from sources

Just add src/simple_logger.hpp and src/simple_logger.cpp to your project and start using it!

Use as a library

Add the CMake project as a subproject or build and install:

$ mkdir build && cd build

$ cmake ..

$ make

$ sudo make install

Examples

Note: instead of Logger class you can simply use L.

Log to console

using juzzlin::L;

L().info() << "Something happened";

Outputs something like this:

Sat Oct 13 22:38:42 2018 I: Something happened

Log to file and console

using juzzlin::L;

L::init("/tmp/myLog.txt");

L().info() << "Something happened";

Log only to file

using juzzlin::L;

L::init("/tmp/myLog.txt");
L::enableEchoMode(false);

L().info() << "Something happened";

Set logging level

using juzzlin::L;

L::setLoggingLevel(L::Level::Debug);

L().info() << "Something happened";
L().debug() << "A debug thing happened";

Outputs something like this:

Sat Oct 13 22:38:42 2018 I: Something happened

Sat Oct 13 22:38:42 2018 D: A debug thing happened

Set custom level symbols

using juzzlin::L;

L::setLoggingLevel(L::Level::Debug);
L::setLevelSymbol(L::Level::Debug, "<DEBUG>");

L().debug() << "A debug thing happened";

Outputs something like this:

Sat Oct 13 22:38:42 2018 <DEBUG> A debug thing happened

Set timestamp mode and optional custom separator

Possible modes: None, EpochSeconds, EpochMilliseconds, EpochMicroseconds, DateTime.

using juzzlin::L;

L::setTimestampMode(L::TimestampMode::EpochMilliseconds, " ## ");

L().info() << "Something happened";

Outputs something like this:

1562955750677 ## I: Something happened
