# spdlog
|
|
|
|
Very fast, header-only/compiled, C++ logging library. [](https://travis-ci.org/gabime/spdlog) [](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/gabime/spdlog)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
#### Header only version
|
|
* Copy the source [folder](https://github.com/gabime/spdlog/tree/v1.x/include/spdlog) to your build tree and use a C++11 compiler.
|
|
|
|
#### Static lib version (recommended - much faster compile times, v1.4.0)
|
|
* Copy [src/spdlog.cpp](https://github.com/gabime/spdlog/blob/v1.x/src/spdlog.cpp) to your build tree and pass the `-DSPDLOG_COMPILED_LIB` to the compiler.
|
|
* Or use CMake to build and use. See [example](https://github.com/gabime/spdlog/blob/v1.x/example/CMakeLists.txt).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Platforms
|
|
* Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, AIX
|
|
* Windows (msvc 2013+, cygwin)
|
|
* macOS (clang 3.5+)
|
|
* Android
|
|
|
|
## Package managers:
|
|
* Homebrew: `brew install spdlog`
|
|
* FreeBSD: `cd /usr/ports/devel/spdlog/ && make install clean`
|
|
* Fedora: `yum install spdlog`
|
|
* Gentoo: `emerge dev-libs/spdlog`
|
|
* Arch Linux: `yaourt -S spdlog-git`
|
|
* vcpkg: `vcpkg install spdlog`
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
* Very fast (see [benchmarks](#benchmarks) below).
|
|
* Headers only, just copy and use. Or use as a compiled library.
|
|
* Feature rich formatting, using the excellent [fmt](https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt) library.
|
|
* Fast asynchronous mode (optional)
|
|
* [Custom](https://github.com/gabime/spdlog/wiki/3.-Custom-formatting) formatting.
|
|
* Multi/Single threaded loggers.
|
|
* Various log targets:
|
|
* Rotating log files.
|
|
* Daily log files.
|
|
* Console logging (colors supported).
|
|
* syslog.
|
|
* Windows debugger (```OutputDebugString(..)```)
|
|
* Easily extendable with custom log targets (just implement a single function in the [sink](include/spdlog/sinks/sink.h) interface).
|
|
* Severity based filtering - threshold levels can be modified in runtime as well as in compile time.
|
|
* Binary data logging.
|
|
|

|
## Usage samples
|
|
|
|
#### Basic usage
|
|
```c++
|
|
#include "spdlog/spdlog.h"
|
|
#include "spdlog/sinks/basic_file_sink.h"
|
|
|
|
int main()
|
|
{
|
|
spdlog::info("Welcome to spdlog!");
|
|
spdlog::error("Some error message with arg: {}", 1);
|
|
|
|
spdlog::warn("Easy padding in numbers like {:08d}", 12);
|
|
spdlog::critical("Support for int: {0:d}; hex: {0:x}; oct: {0:o}; bin: {0:b}", 42);
|
|
spdlog::info("Support for floats {:03.2f}", 1.23456);
|
|
spdlog::info("Positional args are {1} {0}..", "too", "supported");
|
|
spdlog::info("{:<30}", "left aligned");
|
|
|
|
spdlog::set_level(spdlog::level::debug); // Set global log level to debug
|
|
spdlog::debug("This message should be displayed..");
|
|
|
|
// change log pattern
|
|
spdlog::set_pattern("[%H:%M:%S %z] [%n] [%^---%L---%$] [thread %t] %v");
|
|
|
|
// Compile time log levels
|
|
// define SPDLOG_ACTIVE_LEVEL to desired level
|
|
SPDLOG_TRACE("Some trace message with param {}", {});
|
|
SPDLOG_DEBUG("Some debug message");
|
|
|
|
// Set the default logger to file logger
|
|
auto file_logger = spdlog::basic_logger_mt("basic_logger", "logs/basic.txt");
|
|
spdlog::set_default_logger(file_logger);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
#### create stdout/stderr logger object
|
|
```c++
|
|
#include "spdlog/spdlog.h"
|
|
#include "spdlog/sinks/stdout_color_sinks.h"
|
|
void stdout_example()
|
|
{
|
|
// create color multi threaded logger
|
|
auto console = spdlog::stdout_color_mt("console");
|
|
auto err_logger = spdlog::stderr_color_mt("stderr");
|
|
spdlog::get("console")->info("loggers can be retrieved from a global registry using the spdlog::get(logger_name)");
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
---
|
|
#### Basic file logger
|
|
```c++
|
|
#include "spdlog/sinks/basic_file_sink.h"
|
|
void basic_logfile_example()
|
|
{
|
|
try
|
|
{
|
|
auto my_logger = spdlog::basic_logger_mt("basic_logger", "logs/basic-log.txt");
|
|
}
|
|
catch (const spdlog::spdlog_ex &ex)
|
|
{
|
|
std::cout << "Log init failed: " << ex.what() << std::endl;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
---
|
|
#### Rotating files
|
|
```c++
|
|
#include "spdlog/sinks/rotating_file_sink.h"
|
|
void rotating_example()
|
|
{
|
|
// Create a file rotating logger with 5mb size max and 3 rotated files
|
|
auto rotating_logger = spdlog::rotating_logger_mt("some_logger_name", "logs/rotating.txt", 1048576 * 5, 3);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
#### Daily files
|
|
```c++
|
|
|
|
#include "spdlog/sinks/daily_file_sink.h"
|
|
void daily_example()
|
|
{
|
|
// Create a daily logger - a new file is created every day on 2:30am
|
|
auto daily_logger = spdlog::daily_logger_mt("daily_logger", "logs/daily.txt", 2, 30);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
#### Cloning loggers
|
|
```c++
|
|
// clone a logger and give it new name.
|
|
// Useful for creating subsystem loggers from some "root" logger
|
|
void clone_example()
|
|
{
|
|
auto network_logger = spdlog::get("root")->clone("network");
|
|
network_logger->info("Logging network stuff..");
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
#### Periodic flush
|
|
```c++
|
|
// periodically flush all *registered* loggers every 3 seconds:
|
|
// warning: only use if all your loggers are thread safe!
|
|
spdlog::flush_every(std::chrono::seconds(3));
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
#### Binary logging
|
|
```c++
|
|
// log binary data as hex.
|
|
// many types of std::container<char> types can be used.
|
|
// ranges are supported too.
|
|
// format flags:
|
|
// {:X} - print in uppercase.
|
|
// {:s} - don't separate each byte with space.
|
|
// {:p} - don't print the position on each line start.
|
|
// {:n} - don't split the output to lines.
|
|
|
|
#include "spdlog/fmt/bin_to_hex.h"
|
|
|
|
void binary_example()
|
|
{
|
|
auto console = spdlog::get("console");
|
|
std::array<char, 80> buf;
|
|
console->info("Binary example: {}", spdlog::to_hex(buf));
|
|
console->info("Another binary example:{:n}", spdlog::to_hex(std::begin(buf), std::begin(buf) + 10));
|
|
// more examples:
|
|
// logger->info("uppercase: {:X}", spdlog::to_hex(buf));
|
|
// logger->info("uppercase, no delimiters: {:Xs}", spdlog::to_hex(buf));
|
|
// logger->info("uppercase, no delimiters, no position info: {:Xsp}", spdlog::to_hex(buf));
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
#### Logger with multi sinks - each with different format and log level
|
|
```c++
|
|
|
|
// create logger with 2 targets with different log levels and formats.
|
|
// the console will show only warnings or errors, while the file will log all.
|
|
void multi_sink_example()
|
|
{
|
|
auto console_sink = std::make_shared<spdlog::sinks::stdout_color_sink_mt>();
|
|
console_sink->set_level(spdlog::level::warn);
|
|
console_sink->set_pattern("[multi_sink_example] [%^%l%$] %v");
|
|
|
|
auto file_sink = std::make_shared<spdlog::sinks::basic_file_sink_mt>("logs/multisink.txt", true);
|
|
file_sink->set_level(spdlog::level::trace);
|
|
|
|
spdlog::logger logger("multi_sink", {console_sink, file_sink});
|
|
logger.set_level(spdlog::level::debug);
|
|
logger.warn("this should appear in both console and file");
|
|
logger.info("this message should not appear in the console, only in the file");
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
#### Asynchronous logging
|
|
```c++
|
|
#include "spdlog/async.h"
|
|
#include "spdlog/sinks/basic_file_sink.h"
|
|
void async_example()
|
|
{
|
|
// default thread pool settings can be modified *before* creating the async logger:
|
|
// spdlog::init_thread_pool(8192, 1); // queue with 8k items and 1 backing thread.
|
|
auto async_file = spdlog::basic_logger_mt<spdlog::async_factory>("async_file_logger", "logs/async_log.txt");
|
|
// alternatively:
|
|
// auto async_file = spdlog::create_async<spdlog::sinks::basic_file_sink_mt>("async_file_logger", "logs/async_log.txt");
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
#### Asynchronous logger with multi sinks
|
|
```c++
|
|
#include "spdlog/sinks/stdout_color_sinks.h"

|
void multi_sink_example2()
|
|
{
|
|
spdlog::init_thread_pool(8192, 1);
|
|
auto stdout_sink = std::make_shared<spdlog::sinks::stdout_color_sink_mt >();
|
|
auto rotating_sink = std::make_shared<spdlog::sinks::rotating_file_sink_mt>("mylog.txt", 1024*1024*10, 3);
|
|
std::vector<spdlog::sink_ptr> sinks {stdout_sink, rotating_sink};
|
|
auto logger = std::make_shared<spdlog::async_logger>("loggername", sinks.begin(), sinks.end(), spdlog::thread_pool(), spdlog::async_overflow_policy::block);
|
|
spdlog::register_logger(logger);
|
|

// can be set globally or per logger(logger->set_error_handler(..))
|
|
spdlog::set_error_handler([](const std::string &msg) { spdlog::get("console")->error("*** LOGGER ERROR ***: {}", msg); });
|
|
spdlog::get("console")->info("some invalid message to trigger an error {}{}{}{}", 3);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```

|
|
auto syslog_logger = spdlog::syslog_logger_mt("syslog", ident, LOG_PID);

|
|
```
|
