# spdlog
|
|
|
|
Very fast, header-only/compiled, C++ logging library. [](https://github.com/gabime/spdlog/actions/workflows/ci.yml) [](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/gabime/spdlog) [](https://github.com/gabime/spdlog/releases/latest)
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
#### Header-only version
|
|
Copy the include [folder](https://github.com/gabime/spdlog/tree/v1.x/include/spdlog) to your build tree and use a C++11 compiler.
|
|
|
|
#### Compiled version (recommended - much faster compile times)
|
|
```console
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/gabime/spdlog.git
|
|
$ cd spdlog && mkdir build && cd build
|
|
$ cmake .. && make -j
|
|
```
|
|
|

|
|
* Easily [extendable](https://github.com/gabime/spdlog/wiki/4.-Sinks#implementing-your-own-sink) with custom log targets.
|
|
* Log filtering - log levels can be modified at runtime as well as compile time.
|
|
* Support for loading log levels from argv or environment var.
|
|
* [Backtrace](#backtrace-support) support - store debug messages in a ring buffer and display them later on demand.
|
|
|
|
## Usage samples
|
|
|
|
#### Basic usage
|
|
```c++
|
|
#include "spdlog/spdlog.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 {}", 42);
|
|
SPDLOG_DEBUG("Some debug message");
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```
|
|

|
|
#### Create stdout/stderr logger object
|
|
```c++
|
|
#include "spdlog/spdlog.h"
|
|
#include "spdlog/sinks/stdout_color_sinks.h"
|
|
void stdout_example()
|
|
{
|
|
// create a 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 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 5 MB size max and 3 rotated files
|
|
auto max_size = 1048576 * 5;
|
|
auto max_files = 3;
|
|
auto logger = spdlog::rotating_logger_mt("some_logger_name", "logs/rotating.txt", max_size, max_files);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
#### Daily files
|
|
```c++
|
|
|
|
#include "spdlog/sinks/daily_file_sink.h"
|
|
void daily_example()
|
|
{
|
|
// Create a daily logger - a new file is created every day at 2:30 am
|
|
auto logger = spdlog::daily_logger_mt("daily_logger", "logs/daily.txt", 2, 30);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
#### Backtrace support
|
|
```c++
|
|
// Debug messages can be stored in a ring buffer instead of being logged immediately.
|
|
// This is useful to display debug logs only when needed (e.g. when an error happens).
|
|
// When needed, call dump_backtrace() to dump them to your log.
|
|
|
|
spdlog::enable_backtrace(32); // Store the latest 32 messages in a buffer.
|
|
// or my_logger->enable_backtrace(32)..
|
|
for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
|
|
{
|
|
spdlog::debug("Backtrace message {}", i); // not logged yet..
|
|
}
|
|
// e.g. if some error happened:
|
|
spdlog::dump_backtrace(); // log them now! show the last 32 messages
|
|
// or my_logger->dump_backtrace(32)..
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
#### Periodic flush
|
|
```c++
|
|
// periodically flush all *registered* loggers every 3 seconds:
|
|
// warning: only use if all your loggers are thread-safe ("_mt" loggers)
|
|
spdlog::flush_every(std::chrono::seconds(3));
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
#### Stopwatch
|
|
```c++
|
|
// Stopwatch support for spdlog
|
|
#include "spdlog/stopwatch.h"
|
|
void stopwatch_example()
|
|
{
|
|
spdlog::stopwatch sw;
|
|
spdlog::debug("Elapsed {}", sw);
|
|
spdlog::debug("Elapsed {:.3}", sw);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
#### Log binary data in hex
|
|
```c++
|
|
// 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 into lines.
|
|
// {:a} - show ASCII if :n is not set.
|
|
|
|
#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 a different format and log level
|
|
```c++
|
|
|
|
// create a 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");
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
#### User-defined callbacks about log events
|
|
```c++
|
|
|
|
// create a logger with a lambda function callback, the callback will be called
|
|
// each time something is logged to the logger
|
|
void callback_example()
|
|
{
|
|
auto callback_sink = std::make_shared<spdlog::sinks::callback_sink_mt>([](const spdlog::details::log_msg &msg) {
|
|
// for example you can be notified by sending an email to yourself
|
|
});
|
|
callback_sink->set_level(spdlog::level::err);
|
|
|
|
auto console_sink = std::make_shared<spdlog::sinks::stdout_color_sink_mt>();
|
|
spdlog::logger logger("custom_callback_logger", {console_sink, callback_sink});
|
|
|
|
logger.info("some info log");
|
|
logger.error("critical issue"); // will notify you
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
#### 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"
|
|
#include "spdlog/sinks/rotating_file_sink.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);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
#### User-defined types
|
|
```c++
|
|
template<>
|
|
struct fmt::formatter<my_type> : fmt::formatter<std::string>
|
|
{
|
|
auto format(my_type my, format_context &ctx) const -> decltype(ctx.out())
|
|
{
|
|
return format_to(ctx.out(), "[my_type i={}]", my.i);
|
|
}
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
void user_defined_example()
|
|
{
|
|
spdlog::info("user defined type: {}", my_type(14));
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
#### User-defined flags in the log pattern
|
|
```c++
|
|
// Log patterns can contain custom flags.
|
|
// the following example will add new flag '%*' - which will be bound to a <my_formatter_flag> instance.
|
|
#include "spdlog/pattern_formatter.h"
|
|
class my_formatter_flag : public spdlog::custom_flag_formatter
|
|
{
|
|
public:
|
|
void format(const spdlog::details::log_msg &, const std::tm &, spdlog::memory_buf_t &dest) override
|
|
{
|
|
std::string some_txt = "custom-flag";
|
|
dest.append(some_txt.data(), some_txt.data() + some_txt.size());
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
std::unique_ptr<custom_flag_formatter> clone() const override
|
|
{
|
|
return spdlog::details::make_unique<my_formatter_flag>();
|
|
}
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
void custom_flags_example()
|
|
{
|
|
auto formatter = std::make_unique<spdlog::pattern_formatter>();
|
|
formatter->add_flag<my_formatter_flag>('*').set_pattern("[%n] [%*] [%^%l%$] %v");
|
|
spdlog::set_formatter(std::move(formatter));
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
#### Custom error handler
|
|
```c++
|
|
void err_handler_example()
|
|
{
|
|
// 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);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
#### syslog
|
|
```c++
|
|
#include "spdlog/sinks/syslog_sink.h"
|
|
void syslog_example()
|
|
{
|
|
std::string ident = "spdlog-example";
|
|
auto syslog_logger = spdlog::syslog_logger_mt("syslog", ident, LOG_PID);
|
|
syslog_logger->warn("This is warning that will end up in syslog.");
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
---
|
|
#### Android example
|
|
```c++
|
|
#include "spdlog/sinks/android_sink.h"
|
|
void android_example()
|
|
{
|
|
std::string tag = "spdlog-android";
|
|
auto android_logger = spdlog::android_logger_mt("android", tag);
|
|
android_logger->critical("Use \"adb shell logcat\" to view this message.");
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
#### Load log levels from the env variable or argv
|
|
|
|
```c++
|
|
#include "spdlog/cfg/env.h"
|
|
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
|
|
{
|
|
spdlog::cfg::load_env_levels();
|
|
// or from the command line:
|
|
// ./example SPDLOG_LEVEL=info,mylogger=trace
|
|
// #include "spdlog/cfg/argv.h" // for loading levels from argv
|
|
// spdlog::cfg::load_argv_levels(argc, argv);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
So then you can:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ export SPDLOG_LEVEL=info,mylogger=trace
|
|
$ ./example
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
#### Log file open/close event handlers
|
|
```c++
|
|
// You can get callbacks from spdlog before/after a log file has been opened or closed.
|
|
// This is useful for cleanup procedures or for adding something to the start/end of the log file.
|
|
void file_events_example()
|
|
{
|
|
// pass the spdlog::file_event_handlers to file sinks for open/close log file notifications
|
|
spdlog::file_event_handlers handlers;
|
|
handlers.before_open = [](spdlog::filename_t filename) { spdlog::info("Before opening {}", filename); };
|
|
handlers.after_open = [](spdlog::filename_t filename, std::FILE *fstream) { fputs("After opening\n", fstream); };
|
|
handlers.before_close = [](spdlog::filename_t filename, std::FILE *fstream) { fputs("Before closing\n", fstream); };
|
|
handlers.after_close = [](spdlog::filename_t filename) { spdlog::info("After closing {}", filename); };
|
|
auto my_logger = spdlog::basic_logger_st("some_logger", "logs/events-sample.txt", true, handlers);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
#### Replace the Default Logger
|
|
```c++
|
|
void replace_default_logger_example()
|
|
{
|
|
auto new_logger = spdlog::basic_logger_mt("new_default_logger", "logs/new-default-log.txt", true);
|
|
spdlog::set_default_logger(new_logger);
|
|
spdlog::info("new logger log message");
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
#### Log to Qt with nice colors
|
|
```c++
|
|
#include "spdlog/spdlog.h"
|
|
#include "spdlog/sinks/qt_sinks.h"
|
|
MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) : QMainWindow(parent)
|
|
{
|
|
setMinimumSize(640, 480);
|
|
auto log_widget = new QTextEdit(this);
|
|
setCentralWidget(log_widget);
|
|
int max_lines = 500; // keep the text widget to max 500 lines. remove old lines if needed.
|
|
auto logger = spdlog::qt_color_logger_mt("qt_logger", log_widget, max_lines);
|
|
logger->info("Some info message");
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
