Easy logging yojson

This package provides the same features as Easy_logging, but is extended with configuration loader from the json format, using ppx_deriving_yojson as a deserializer.

Logging modules created by MakeLogging are enriched with the three following functions to instantiate loggers and allow easy external configuration :

  • val load_config : Yojson.Safe.json -> unit
  • val load_config_str : string -> unit
  • val load_config_file : string -> unit

Configuration example

{
    "handlers": {
        "file_handlers": {
             "logs_folder" : "logs",
             "truncate" : false
        }
    },
    "loggers": 
        [
            {
                "name": "Main",
                "level": "debug",
                "handlers": [ {"cli": {"level" : "debug"}} ] },
            {
                "name": "Main.A",
                "level": "info"},
            {
                "name": "Main.B",
                "level": "warning"},
            {

                "handlers": [{ "file": {"filename": "main.c.logs", 
                                      "level" : "info"}}

Configuration types

Top configuration

type config = {
    handlers : H.config;     [@default H.default_config]
    loggers : config_logger list
  } 

Logger configuration

type config_logger = {
        name: string;
        level : log_level;       [@default NoLevel]
        handlers : H.desc list;  [@default [] ]
        propagate : bool;        [@default true]
      } 

Default handlers configuration

type config_ = {file_handlers: file_handlers_config}

type file_handlers_config_  =
  { logs_folder: string;     [@default file_handlers_defaults.logs_folder]
    truncate: bool;          [@default file_handlers_defaults.truncate]
    file_perms: int          [@default file_handlers_defaults.file_perms]
  }

type cli_json_params = {level : log_level}

type cli_json_desc =  {cli : cli_json_params}

type file_json_desc_params = {filename : string;level: log_level}

type file_json_desc = {file : file_json_desc_params}
