LayoutFormat: Format Log Events as Text

Description

Format Log Events as Text

Format Log Events as Text

Format Tokens

This is the same list of format tokens as for format.LogEvent()

%t

The timestamp of the message, formatted according to timestamp_fmt)

%l

the log level, lowercase character representation

%L

the log level, uppercase character representation

%k

the log level, first letter of lowercase character representation

%K

the log level, first letter of uppercase character representation

%n

the log level, integer representation

%g

the name of the logger

%p

the PID (process ID). Useful when logging code that uses multiple threads.

%c

the calling function

%m

the log message

%r

the raw log message (without string interpolation)

%f

all custom fields of x in a pseudo-JSON like format that is optimized for human readability and console output

%j

all custom fields of x in proper JSON. This requires that you have jsonlite installed and does not support colors as opposed to %f

Super class
