register_logger: Registers a logger instance in a given logging namespace.

Description

Registers logger instance.

Usage

register_logger(namespace = NA_character_, layout = NULL, level = NULL)

Value

invisible(NULL)

Arguments

namespace: (character(1) or NA_character_)
the name of the logging namespace
layout: (character(1))
the log layout. Alongside the standard logging variables provided by the logging package (e.g. pid) the token variable can be used which will write the last 8 characters of the shiny session token to the log.
level: (character(1) or call) the log level. Can be passed as character or one of the logger's objects. See logger::log_threshold() for more information.

Details

Creates a new logging namespace specified by the namespace argument. When the layout and level arguments are set to NULL (default), the function gets the values for them from system variables or R options. When deciding what to use (either argument, an R option or system variable), the function picks the first non NULL value, checking in order:

Function argument.
System variable.
R option.

layout and level can be set as system environment variables, respectively:

teal.log_layout as TEAL.LOG_LAYOUT,
teal.log_level as TEAL.LOG_LEVEL.

If neither the argument nor the environment variable is set the function uses the following R options:

options(teal.log_layout), which is passed to logger::layout_glue_generator(),
options(teal.log_level), which is passed to logger::log_threshold()

The logs are output to stdout by default. Check logger for more information about layouts and how to use logger.

Examples

Run this code

options(teal.log_layout = "{msg}")
options(teal.log_level = "ERROR")
register_logger(namespace = "new_namespace")
# \donttest{
logger::log_info("Hello from new_namespace", namespace = "new_namespace")
# }
